Pete Rose was honored by the Reds on Wednesday night, a day after he was posthumously removed from MLB's permanent ineligibility list.

The most important implication of Manfred's decision has to do with the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pursuant to Rose's placement on the permanently ineligible list, the Hall in 1991 ruled that players on that list could not be elected into the Hall of Fame.

MLB’s decision to make Rose eligible for the Hall of Fame is a betrayal of Bart Giamatti, the commissioner who banned him 35 years ago, son says.
