Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he “paid attention” to President Donald Trump’s call to reinstate Pete Rose—an action he ended up taking.
“The president was one of a number of voices that was supportive of the idea that this was the right decision,” said Manfred during a June 4 press conference. “Obviously, I have respect for the office, and the advice that he gave I paid attention to, but I had a lot of other people that were weighing in on the topic, as well.”
