I stopped watching in 2005

this is happening because lawyers were pressing the issue. Manfred relented.

Didn’t he get pressed by the orange moron about this too?

The commissioner wasn't the commissioner 50 years ago though.

He's been in the job for a decade however

Pete Rose said numerous times that he knew he would be let in after his death. And I guess MLB's new decision is fine. It was a "lifetime ban" after all.

 

[Spidey Man]

Pete should have been put in the minute after the league started making money off sports betting. He should have been put in immediately. I get why he wasn't, he clearly broke the rules, but it should have been done.

IDK about shoeless Joe, because what he was accused of, was an order of magnitude worse than Pete. Voters also need to stop fukking around with bonds. They already showed their ass with Ortiz.

Bonds not being in the HOF is one of the biggest jokes in sports.

The lesson of Pete Rose and 'Shoeless' Joe? History is messy

Museums exist to tell about history, and history is always messy -- including in sports.

this isn't that.

Bonds isn't in the hall. He's eligible to do whatever he wants otherwise in baseball. Even if Pete woulda got a unanimous vote from writers, he couldn't get in because he wasn't eligible.

Just because Pete is now eligible doesn't mean he's now getting in. The writers never had a chance to reject Pete. The veterans' committee is tougher than the writers.

Who gives a shyt after he’s dead?

That was the point. The game will, but he doesn't get to enjoy it. He broke the "cardinal sin" in baseball.
