Pete Rose was permanently placed on the ineligible list in 1989 as part of an agreement with MLB after an investigation unearthed evidence that he had gambled on his own team while managing the Cincinnati Reds .

Trump issued a full-throated endorsement of Rose 's reinstatement to MLB on Feb. 28 .

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred granted that petition on May 14 .

Rose's Hall of Fame candidacy could very well rest on whether or not the committee considers those allegations against him.
