Pete Rose ban from baseball remains in place
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14...B&sf16975609=1
The lifetime ban of Major League Baseball career hits leader Pete Rose remains in place, as commissioner Rob Manfred has chosen to keep Rose's banishment in place for gambling on baseball. MLB said in a statement that Manfred contacted Rose on Monday to inform him of the decision. Rose and Manfred met in MLB's offices in Manhattan in September, and the commissioner had said he would make a decision on Rose by the end of 2015. Rose, who was banned from baseball in 1989 after the league's investigation into his gambling, applied for reinstatement for a second time in March. Manfred took over as MLB commissioner in January. For almost 15 years after being banned, Rose denied he bet on baseball. In 2004, he changed his tune, saying he did so only when managing the Cincinnati Reds. An Outside the Lines report earlier this year produced documentation from one of Rose's former associates that cataloged his bets in 1986, when he was still playing. Rose's attorney said at the time that his client wouldn't comment as he was in the process of reinstatement, and Rose has not commented on the matter since. Sources told Quinn it was extremely unlikely all along, even before the Outside the Lines report, that Rose would be reinstated. MLB officials had no sense that Rose had "reconfigured" his life. Rose passed Ty Cobb as career hits leader with No. 4,192 on Sept. 11, 1985, and he finished his career with 4,256 hits. Rose played for the Reds from 1963 to 1978 and 1984 to 1986, acting as both a player and a manager from 1984 to 1986 and continuing as just a manager until 1989. He first applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and met with then-commissioner Bud Selig in November 2002, but Selig never ruled on Rose's application. The continued punishment means Rose cannot be considered for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. |

Is that why he mysteriously disappeared from the broadcasting coverage table on FS1?

No issue with this. Anyone's who looked into what actually happened knows this wasn't as innocent as saying he bet on the Reds to win. He also chose not to bet on games he thought they would lose. He ****ed with the integrity of the game.

Living in Vegas and spending 4-5 days a week in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino is probably not the best way to convince MLB that you are over your gambling habits.

First off, he deserves to be in as a player. Put up a plaque if you want to say as a manager he bet on baseball.
Second, the Baseball Hall Of Fame isnt part of the MLB, how the hell does the MLB get to decide who the hall chooses to put in there. I dont think this is an asterisk thing even, he was one of the best if not the best player to ever play the game and its a travesty to fans and him to not be honored as such. |

The most frustrating part for Pete Rose is that he's got a $25,000 bet with Vegas that he'll be reinstated.

I wish they would reinstate him just so he stops being a story every year.

So stupid. Players use steroids and cheat constantly doing so but lose no pay and can still play but Rose is out for life after a few bets? MLB being idiots.
