Pete Rose, who’s famously know for betting on teams while playing in the majors, will not be brought back into the MLB. Commissioner Rob Manfred has decided to keep the ban on (should be Hall of Famer) Pete Rose, which was raised 25 years ago.
The decision by Mr. Manfred, who succeeded Bud Selig as commissioner last January, has not been publicly announced. But three people familiar with the decision, speaking on condition of anonymity because they did not want to be identified discussing a matter that was supposed to remain confidential, said that Mr. Manfred had made up his mind to keep the ban intact.
Mr. Manfred had planned to inform Mr. Rose of his decision on Thursday. But after an inquiry by The New York Times on Monday morning, Mr. Manfred called Mr. Rose and told him that he would not lift the ban.
Mr. Manfred’s decision comes less than three months after he met with Mr. Rose, 74, at Major League Baseball’s headquarters on Park Avenue in Manhattan.
Sources said it was extremely unlikely all along, even before OTL report Rose had bet while playing. No sense he had "reconfigured" life.
