MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred ended the lifetime bans of several deceased former major leaguers on Tuesday. 

Among those reinstated were two of the best hitters in the history of baseball, Chicago White Sox legend “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and Pete Rose, who most famously played for the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies. A total of 17 players had their bans reversed on Tuesday due to Manfred’s decision.
