Trump, per his style, has thoughts about all this, writing on Truth Social that "baseball, which is dying all over the place, should get off its fat, lazy ass, and elect Pete Rose, even though far too late, into the Baseball Hall of Fame!"

SEATTLE — Yankees manager Aaron Boone was a big Pete Rose fan as a kid. When the Phillies won the World Series in 1980, Rose was their first baseman, Bob Boone was the catcher and their kids played together. Aaron Boone and his big brother Bret were around Rose a lot. They looked up to Rose.
