💨 Abstract

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced on May 13, 2025, that players like Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, who were permanently banned from baseball, will have their statuses restored upon death, potentially making them eligible for the Hall of Fame. This decision affects various figures banned over the years due to gambling, match-fixing, and other misconduct, including those involved in the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
