Pete Rose was reinstated by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday, making him eligible for baseball’s Hall of Fame. Rose’s career was marked by gambling scandals and his permanent ban was lifted eight months after his death. The decision was met with pushback on social media, including from The Atlantic’s Norman Ornstein.

ESPN broadcaster Karl Ravech spoke about MLB's possible motivations for the removal of Pete Rose, among others, off the permanently ineligible list.
