Rose is a disgrace to the game in death and life

Sally Jenkins argues Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson damaged baseball's integrity. She critiques MLB Commissioner Manfred for reversing posthumous eligibility and contends the Hall of Fame should not honor those who gamed or lied, even after death, to corrupt the sport.

Rose and Joe Jackson reinstated to Hall of Fame eligibility

Rob Manfred removed Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson from the permanent ineligible list, making both eligible for the Hall of Fame along with 14 other deceased players and one deceased owner. The move, praised by some and criticized by others, could prompt a special election for immediate induction and adds Bonds, Clemens, and Rodriguez to the discussion for baseball’s highest honor.
