President Trump said he forgave baseball legend Pete Rose after his death and attacked Major League Baseball (MLB).
“Major League baseball didn't have the courage or decency to induct the great Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his later years, also known as 'Charlie Hustle',” Trump wrote in Saturday's Truth Social Post.
“Now he is dead and will not experience the thrill of being chosen, the president added.
Rose, who passed away in September at the age of 83, received a lifetime ban from baseball after discovering that the probe was betting on the game.

Two years later, he joined the Hall of Fame It was introduced The rule is that people who are banned from sports are not entitled to the highest honor of sports.
Trump wrote on Saturday in the next “a few weeks,” he said, “will sign a full pardon from Pete Rose, who was supposed to be betting on the team's winning.”

Trump has been arguing for a while that Rose must lead MLB on hits and play games, singles and at-bats to the Sports Hall of Fame.
Shortly after his death on September 30, Trump said Rose should be hospitalized in the Baseball Hall of Fame before his funeral. He expressed the same sentiment in early 2020 during his first White House term, saying, “Let Pete Rose inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Time!”
Rose is a 17-time All-Star and has won the World Series three times throughout his career.
“Baseball dying everywhere should be that fat, lazy,” Trump said on Saturday.[–] And Pete Rose is also inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, even if it's too late! ”
