I can't see putting Rose in while he is banned from baseball by baseball. Having said that, I think Manfred's position is petty, which seems to be that he was open to reinstating Rose, but only if Rose showed adequate contrition and life-style discipline. Rose, being Rose, failed to pass Manfred's test. I think Manfred should reinstate Rose for all the reasons that he was open to it in the first place, which surely includes that we have outlived the era when Rose's conduct was a threat to baseball. Then put the old man in the hall.
