Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred set a long overdue precedent on Tuesday by formally announcing permanent ineligibility expires upon death.

After announcing that Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, among others, have been removed from the MLB’s banned list, Major League Baseball also clarified a key ruling. It outlines specific handling for players following their deaths.

Pete Rose was banned from Major League Baseball after he bet on games while he was a manager and player for the Cincinnati Reds. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred reinstated Rose back into the league. Rose died last year and could be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2028.
