Major League Baseball made stunning decision that some people thought may never come. Commissioner Rob Manfred softened the lifetime back rules, opening the door for a possible reinstatement for Pete Rose and Joe Jackson.

I didn’t know what to think at first.” That reaction from Lapel tennis coach and lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan Justin Coomer to the news of the reinstatement of Pete Rose Tuesday was consistent the response of many baseball fans.

It was more than 100 years ago that Shoeless Joe Jackson was among eight Black Sox banned from baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series. It’s been more than 35 years since Pete Rose suffered the same fate after betting on the sport as a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds in the mid-1980s.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has made a drastic change that may allow Pete Rose and Joe Jackson to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Even after he was reinstated by Major League Baseball, it's clear that many of the current players (and even a manager) are uncomfortable talking about Pete Rose and what his legacy in the game might really be.
