MLB commissioner Bud Selig appears to be "seriously considering" reinstatement for Pete Rose nearly 20 years after the hit king was banned from baseball for gambling on the sport, according to a report in the New York Daily News.
If Rose were to become eligible, it stands to reason he would have to be voted into the Hall of Fame by the 65 living members who make up the Veterans Committee.
Inclusion on the writers' ballot expires after 15 years, though Rose has never appeared on their ballot except by write-in.
ESPN's Buster Olney talks about the report.
MLB Hall of Famer Hank Aaron gives his thoughts on Pete Rose.
I would expect Pete Rose to be reinstated, but only as Bud Selig'a last act before he leaves office in 2012.
I think in the steroid era, Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. All he did was bet on baseball. Some players has seriously hurt the game with their use of performance enhancing drugs.
That is my poll question: Should Pete Rose be reinstated by Major League Baseball? Vote yes or no.
