Alex Rodriguez has bittersweet reaction to Pete Rose's Hall of Fame eligibility

Pete Rose may finally be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2028.

December 2027 is the first time MLB's all-time hits leader will officially be considered for a plaque in Cooperstown after Major League Baseball announced last month that those on the game's ineligible list are taken off after they die.

The Hall ruled in 1991 that it would follow MLB's ineligible list and not consider anyone on it. Now that Rose is off, he is eligible for induction through the Hall's Classic Era Committee, which does not meet for another 2½ years.
