Everything to know about MLB lifting ban on Pete Rose, more

Rob Manfred recently lifted permanent restrictions on deceased baseball players, allowing them to be considered for the Hall of Fame. This includes Pete Rose, Joe Jackson, and others from the 1919 "Black Sox" team, as well as six other former players, a coach, and an owner who were previously barred due to gambling accusations. These individuals are now eligible to be evaluated for induction based on their achievements before 1980, despite past connections to illegal activities during their careers.
