A few years after his ban, the league added a new rule that bans all players that have been banned from baseball from being inducted into the Hall of Fame, including those that had been banned prior to the new rule.
MLB Commission Rob Manfred made that call this week, denying Rose’s application to get back into the sport and to open the door for him to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The commissioner had said he would make a decision on Rose by the end of 2015.
In a report that accompanied Manfred’s decision to uphold the ban on Monday, he said Rose informed him at their face-to-face meeting in September that he had continued to bet on baseball.
“I’ve worked hard at it”, Rose said.

The ban prevents Rose from working for any major league team or minor league affiliate, but he is allowed to make ceremonial appearances with the commissioner’s permission and may work for third parties such as Fox, which hired Rose this year as a baseball analyst.
Manfred’s four-page decision stated that Rose’s refusal to “reconfigure his life” had prompted the decision.
“He was trying to help me”, Rose said. I’m not a casino guy. Pete Rose the player should be the blueprint of what all players should be like.
