Yesterday, we were treated to a historic decision in the MLB, while Rob Manfred announced that Pete Rose and the players of the Black Sox scandal are no longer banished by the League. The commissioner justified himself by saying that a deceased person can no longer affect the integrity of the league.
It's a way to see things.
And since these players are no longer banished, they are now eligible to enter the fame. For many people, therefore, see Rose, who is the leader of the history of majority for sure, entering CoopStown, that falls under the meaning.
However, you have to be careful before assuming such a thing … because at the moment, the popular feeling is that Rose is really, but really not guaranteed to be honored.
In fact, it is the opposite: many expect what he has no chance.
What should be remembered is that Rose will not go through the famous traditional ballot. He will therefore not be part of the list of those who are 10 years old to obtain 75 % of the votes: if he enters the temple, it is because a special committee, which will not meet before December 2027, the aura selected.
In fact, he will need 12 votes on 16 members of the committee. And usually, this committee takes into account the prowess of players on the field … but also the individual in itself.
And when we know that in addition to Gambling, Rose has had a relationship with a minor of 14 years and that he is a character who divides, we understand why his path to the temple could be problematic.
Could RoseStown's President Donald Trump at CoopStown and who offered him presidential forgiveness, could push for the committee to select Rose by putting pressure on the members who compose it? It's not impossible … and you have to ask yourself how members would react to all of this.
Bringing Rose to the Temple, it would establish a certain precedent with which the committee could be uncomfortable. But with an MLB that approaches a lot Sports betting platforms and the line between the two that seems thinner than ever, maybe that could play in favor of Rose.
