The ending of the lifetime ban
should make no difference whatsoever since the Hall of Fame is ostensibly independent of MLB. But while both Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose are easily famous enough to merit inclusion in the Baseball Hall of Fame, they nonetheless need to be voted in by the electors and neither Jackson nor Rose have been popular enough with the electors to manage that feat. I don't see that anything has happened to change the situation.
