On 12/14/15 he was denied reinstatement into Major League Baseball by new commissioner Rob Manfred. Rose was banned in 1989 after admitting he bet on Cincinnati Reds games when he was playing for the team. Manfred clarified that the decision does not affect Rose's eligibility for the Hall of Fame, which is not owned by Major League Baseball. The Hall of Fame's board of directors voted in 1991 to ban those on the permanently ineligible list from the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot. [December 14, 2015].
