Make Pete Rose Hall of Fame-eligible again? Photo: Steven Ferdman/Getty Images Every few years, like a bad penny, Pete Rose pops back up. Baseball’s all-time hits leader, who has now been barred from Major League Baseball for more than 30 years , made headlines last week when he sent a 26-page petition to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred requesting, once again, reinstatement in the game — this time using the Astros sign-stealing scandal as the peg for his appeal.
There is considerable reason to believe that this time, it might finally work. Whatever one’s thoughts about Rose’s offenses — and you should know that I personally believe he shouldn’t be allowed within 50 miles of an MLB stadium — a confluence of societal circumstances have conspired over the last five years to give him the best case he’s ever going to have for reinstatement. But it’s us that has changed, not Rose.
Whether you agree with Rose’s argument that sign-stealing is worse than betting on your own team to win, which I don’t , it’s clear that he’s using the Astros’ scandal to maximize public sympathy. It is not flawed logic. Much of the anger toward the Astros has been less about their cheating — teams have been stealing signs for more than a century — and more about the technology and advanced analytics they used to do so.
