Pete Rose, perhaps the greatest player not in baseball’s Hall of Fame (sorry, Shoeless Joe Jackson), has made it official.
The all-time hits leader who played most of his career in Cincinnati and who was the catalyst for the Phillies’ 1980 World Series victory, has submitted a new request to be reinstated to baseball, said the new commissioner, Rob Manfred.
Rose, who agreed to a lifetime ban in August 1989 for betting on baseball games, applied for reinstatement in 1997 and met in 2002 with Bud Selig, who never ruled on the application.
