Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5183717, member: 173"] In 1991, the Baseball Hall of Fame board voted to enact a rule that nobody on the banned list can be inducted into the HOF. So it’s not exactly the same thing - but in Rose’s case (or in the case of anyone with an explicitly permanent ban like Shoeless Joe) it effectively is. The possible workaround would be something similar to Roberto Alomar - he was banned (not for gambling) in 2021, but was already in the HOF and wasn’t removed as a result of being banned. If someone was enshrined in the HOF and the permanently banned for gambling, I don’t think the rules are entirely clear if they would be removed or not (although I may be wrong on this piece).
