Pete Rose is in the news again because of a letter of apology and request for forgiveness he sent MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. A problem, Ken_Rosenthal writes, is that too often, Rose's words ring hollow. He can't get out of his own way.
The Hall of Fame, that’s what Rose wants. Strictly on his accomplishments as a player — the record 4,256 hits, three World Series titles and 17 All-Star Game selections at five different positions — it’s also what he deserves. But the Hall in 1991 adopted a rule barring players on baseball’s ineligible list from induction to Cooperstown. Before Rose could even be considered, Manfred would need to take the lead by removing Rose from the ineligible list.
The Historic Overview Committee that creates the Classic Era ballot is comprised of 11 members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Perhaps Rose would get past that group, which only would be nominating him for consideration.
Those questions would not even be relevant until December 2024. If Rose failed to get elected, he would need to wait another three years for the next Classic Era ballot. He can continue pleading to Manfred, appealing to public sympathy. But Rose, to borrow a term from horse racing, one of his favorite sports, is getting left at the gate. His race for Cooperstown remains permanently stalled, and it’s no one’s fault but his own.
