Major League Baseball's all-time hits leader will continue to be barred from the league.
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Monday that Pete Rose's permanent ban for betting on baseball will not be lifted.
"In short, Mr. Rose has not presented credible evidence of a reconfigured life either by an honest acceptance by him of his wrongdoing, so clearly established by the Dowd Report, or by a rigorous, self-aware, and sustained program of avoidance by him of all the circumstances that led to his permanent eligibility in 1989," Manfred said in a statement.
"During our meeting, Mr. Rose told me that he has continued to bet on horse racing and on professional sports, including baseball," Manfred said. "Those bets may have been permitted by law in the jurisdictions in which they were placed, but this fact does not mean that the bets would be permissible if made by a player or manager subject to Rule 21."
