Topline
The late Pete Rose, Major League Baseball’s all-time hit leader, was reinstated by the league Tuesday in a move that makes him posthumously eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame over 35 years after he was banned from the sport for betting on games while playing for and managing the Cincinnati Reds.
Rose was banned from baseball in 1989.
