In reply to the discussion: Major League Baseball ends lifetime bans for Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson [View all]BumRushDaShow
(159,025 posts)30. Right when I read your post
I was listening to our local Philly news radio station and they were doing a report on this (with some clips of locals discussing it). Rose was on the Phillies 1980 World Series team.
They were going to put Rose on the "Wall of Fame" here in 2017 but then pulled that after the underage sex scandal happened. He did appear in 2022 at the pandemic-delayed 40th anniversary commemoration of the Phillies World Series at the team's "Wall of Fame" celebration.

Well... at this point in time, I agree with all that. They both have paid a high price.
