And I even said that his initial decision on Rose years ago was the one thing he got right as commissioner. Just goes to show Manfred isn't capable of getting anything right. Hopefully the next lockout finally gets rid of him.
So, here's where I am with this: taking the deceased off the permanent ban list? Sure, fine, makes sense. Doing it because President Manchild whined about it? Fuck off.
Pete Rose, convicted of this and that, dubious sportsmanship values, accused sex offender including very young women, and pugnacious, entitled, lying jerk, was drumpfy's kinda guy. No surprise he'd lean on notorious ass kisser Manfred to pardon his kindred soul.
Except his name is still all over the HoF for all the records he holds. What he did does nothing to change how great of a player he was. The ban get more ridiculous each year it remains.
He probably thinks it'll save him from getting trampled or he'll get a bailout on attendance continuing to dip, but it won't save him in any capacity. It sure will alienate his already fractured viewership base, though.
Especially after Manfred had every MLB club, including here in very not USA Toronto, remove all references to race and discrimination when celebrating Jackie Robinson Day last month. Manfred so far up Trump’s ass and it really serves no purpose for he or MLB. Senseless ass kissing

He broke a rule that is posted in every clubhouse.
I am so tired of everyone kowtowing to Trump!🤬🤬
But they should unban him because they’re money grubbing cretins, not because the Toddler-in-Chief opened his big lie hole.
That should be a more difficult behavior to justify but I have no doubt that Manfred, invertebrate that he is, will find a way
