“Once he has completed his sentence, which he agreed to, then he can be eligible for the hall.”
Am I missing something? According to the article, “he agreed to a permanent ban from baseball”.
Rose, 73, played from 1963 to 1986, amassing 4,256 hits, still a major league record. Three years after he retired, Rose agreed to a permanent ban from baseball amid accusations he gambled on games while playing and managing for the Cincinnati Reds.
As I remember it, it is a lifetime ban. If a truly permanent ban, then no, he should not ever be in the Hall.
Also, the first sentence refers to it as a lifetime ban.
Roses understanding at the time was that at some point he could petition to get unbanned.
