Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday announced a major change in league policy, designating Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson among a group of deceased players eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Manfred has officially removed Rose and Jackson from the sport’s “permanent ineligibility” list. Both players were banned from the sport over their betting scandals.
