Editing Pete Rose (section)

====National Baseball Hall of Fame Eligibility====
On February 4, 1991, the Hall of Fame voted formally to exclude individuals on the permanently ineligible list from being inducted by way of the [[Baseball Writers' Association of America]] (BBWAA) vote. A longstanding unwritten rule already barred permanently ineligible players from enshrinement. At the beginning of the [[2024 Major League Baseball season|2024 season]], Rose, [[Tucupita Marcano]] (banned in 2024 for betting on his own team's games) and [[Roberto Alomar]] (banned in 2021 for sexual misconduct towards a female [[Toronto Blue Jays]] staffer) were the only living former players on the ineligible list (although former executive Chris Correa is also on the list for other infractions); Alomar was enshrined several years before his banishment, and his plaque remains in the hall. Players who were not selected by the BBWAA could be considered by the [[Veterans Committee]] in the first year after they would have lost their place on the Baseball Writers' ballot. Under the Hall's rules at the time, players could appear on the ballot for only fifteen years, beginning five years after they retired. Had he not been banned from baseball, Rose's name could have been on the writers' ballot beginning in 1992 and ending in 2006.<ref name=status>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=4358260|title=Sources: Pete Rose's status the same, despite report |date=July 27, 2009 |work=ESPN|access-date=June 16, 2010}}</ref> Rose would have been eligible for consideration by the Veterans Committee in 2007, but did not appear on the ballot.<ref name=status/> In 2008, the Veterans Committee barred players and managers on the ineligible list from consideration.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/vet-committee-players |title=Vet Committee&nbsp;– Players |publisher=Baseball Hall of Fame |access-date=June 16, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100530074548/http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/vet-committee-players |archive-date=May 30, 2010}}</ref> Eight years later, Rose petitioned the Hall of Fame to permit his name to be submitted for induction, saying that he had not expected to be prevented from consideration when agreeing to the lifetime ban.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Shaikin|first1=Bill|title=Pete Rose asks Hall of Fame to let him stand for election|url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/mlb/la-sp-pete-rose-hall-of-fame-20160928-snap-story.html|access-date=October 1, 2016|work=Los Angeles Times|date=September 28, 2016}}</ref>

Although he will not be eligible for the Hall of Fame until December 2027 under the terms of the Fawn Rose and Jeffrey M. Lenkov agreement, artifacts from Rose's career are on display inside the Hall's museum, located on the floor above the plaque gallery.<ref>[https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/hall-of-fame-pete-rose-barry-bonds-alex-rodriguez-mike-trout-kyle-schwarber/8wjstb2wxnpi1tigme511xffw Pete Rose already in the Hall of Fame, just not a Hall of Famer].
