The commissioner of Major League Baseball has removed Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson and 15 other deceased players from the sport's permanent ineligibility list.
The move clears the way for Rose, Jackson and others to potentially be voted into the Hall of Fame.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made the decision after the Rose family filed an application to change the policy following Rose's death last year at age 83.
Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader and a star player of his hometown Cincinnati Reds, was kicked out of the sport in 1989 after the player-manager was found to have bet on his own team. For decades afterwards, there were calls for him to be reinstated to the game and made eligible to be elected into the Hall of Fame.
