"In some ways, he was ahead of his time, or the game. That’s how I choose to remember him." – Terry Francona on Pete Rose's legacy.

Manfred has spent his decade as MLB commissioner publicly talking about the integrity of baseball and privately taking swipes at it.

The celebration has taken on new significance after the announcement that Pete Rose has been removed from Major League Baseball's ineligible list.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and 14 other dead players from the league's permanently ineligible list. The decision comes 36 years after Rose was initially banned and 104 years after Jackson was banned.

Even after he was reinstated by Major League Baseball, it's clear that many of the current players (and even a manager) are uncomfortable talking about Pete Rose and what his legacy in the game might really be.
