Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred is reportedly reviewing a petition to reinstate Pete Rose. Hopefully that review doesn't take very long and ends in a definitive "no," because the league absolutely does not need to reinstate Rose,

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is considering a petition to have Pete Rose posthumously removed from Major League Baseball's ineligible list, a person familiar with the situation told CBS News on Sunday. Rose, baseball's late career hits leader, was banned from MLB and the Hall of Fame for sports betting.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he plans to pardon the late baseball all-time hit king Pete Rose “in the coming weeks,” while Major League Baseball is considering a petition to posthumously remove the Cincinnati Reds icon from the sport’s ineligible list.
