Why is Rose ineligible for induction into the baseball Hall of Fame?
In 1990, the Hall of Fame added a clause to its eligibility rules stating that players who were on Baseball’s ineligible list could not be considered as candidates. Critics argued that this action was taken to specifically keep Rose out of the Hall of Fame. Supporters argue that this was just a clarification, formally acknowledging what had been an unwritten rule since the Hall of Fame’s inception.
