Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is considering a petition to have Pete Rose posthumously removed from Major League Baseball's ineligible list, a person familiar with the situation told CBS News on Sunday. Rose, baseball's late career hits leader, was banned from MLB and the Hall of Fame for sports betting.

Trump called for Rose to be elected to the Hall of Fame and said MLB "didn’t have the courage or decency" to allow him in.

Pete Rose has been on MLB's permanently ineligible list since 1989. If the ban is lifted, he would be eligible for election to the Hall of Fame.
