Pete Rose, 74, applied to Major League Baseball for reinstatement, last week. Commissioner, Bart Giamatti, suspended the all-time hits leader for life on August 23, 1989, for betting on baseball.
Rose was under the impression he would serve some time but he would be allowed back in the game eventually. One of the greatest players to ever play the game, Rose is ineligible for election to the hall-of-fame.
Commissioner, Rob Manfred, has indicate he will make a decision by the end of this year.
He should be allowed back in baseball even if it comes with stipulations. Manfred can reinstate him, with provisions that prevent him from working in the front office, or any part of a coaching staff, of any organization. This would include the minor leagues as well. He should be allowed to be an advisor or something of that capacity. …show more content…
Giamatti’s successors, Fay Vincent and Bud Selig, denied multiple request by Rose for reinstatement. None of the three ever intended to allow Rose back into baseball, which is not the way they explained the ban to Rose by Giamatti. Vincent feels allowing Rose back into baseball is bad for the game and he will never get into the hall.
While they denied reinstatement they have allowed him at showcase events, mostly because of the pressure of the fans. This is disallowed according to the lifetime ban, however they use him for their own gain. He appeared at the 1999 All-Star game as part of the all-century team, as well as appearing at this year’s All-Star game in his hometown, Cincinnati. He was a star player for his hometown Reds and is still revered by the fans. Fans nationwide, had their voices heard when it came to Rose appearing at both of these events.
It is time for their voices to be heard again, for one of the greatest hitters of all-time, if not one of the greatest all around

Conclusion Afterword Author’s Note Acknowledgments Notes Foreword When a governor or any state official seeks elective national office, his (or her) reputation and what the country knows about the candidate’s background is initially determined by the work of local and regional media. Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade trying to find accurate information on Bush’s record in the Texas National Guard. My curiosity had been prompted by his failure to adequately answer a question I had asked him as a panelist in a televised debate with Ann Richards during the 1994 gubernatorial campaign. Eventually I published three books on Bush and his political consigliere, Karl Rove. During Bush’s...
