Pete Rose Uses<br />Sign-Stealing <br />Scandal to Request <br />Reinstatement Rose asked MLB commissioner <br />Rob Manfred to remove his name from <br />Major League Baseball's ineligible list. The move would allow the <br />all-time hits leader to be <br />considered for induction <br />into the Hall of Fame. Rose is subject to an infamous lifetime <br />ban from baseball for gambling on games<br />as manager of the Cincinnati Reds. "Charlie Hustle," as he is <br />affectionately known, is a three-time <br />World Series Champion and holds <br />numerous league records . His eligibility to be considered for the <br />Baseball Hall of Fame remains a contentious <br />topic among baseball fans. The 17-time all-star invoked the recent sign-stealing scandal as reason to reconsider his eligibility for the hall. Rose and his lawyers argue the commissioner's office recently opted not to punish players guilty of major game-changing rules infractions. As a result, Rose argues <br />that the league should end <br />his 30-year ban for gambling.
