Major League Baseball on Tuesday removed Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, two of the sport’s most famous players who were previously kicked out of baseball for gambling on the game, from the league’s permanently ineligible list.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said during an interview on CBS Mornings that the reinstatements of Pete Rose and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson were "overdue."

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said his decision to reinstate Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased banned players was a matter of "baseball living up to the deal that they originally made" with Rose.
