Evening Edition: The 'Great Tragedy' Of Pete Rose

The all-time hit king, Pete Rose, is no longer banned from Major
League Baseball, seven months after his death. A new MLB policy
announced this week ends permanent bans from the sport once the
person dies. The change impacts Rose and 17 other former players,
including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Ever since he was banned in 1989
for gambling on baseball while he was a player and manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, the debate over whether Rose should be inducted
into baseball’s Hall of Fame has been a constant subject for sports
journalists and talk programs. Rose’s removal from the
ineligibility list makes an induction possible. FOX News Senior
Congressional Correspondent and diehard Cincinnati Reds fan Chad
Pergram covered Rose’s banishment back in the '80s and joins the
Rundown to discuss the legendary player’s complex legacy, the
politics surrounding Rose, and the likelihood he will get a shrine
in Cooperstown. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices.
