President Trump announced on Saturday that in the coming weeks, he will pardon Major League Baseball’s all-time base-hit leader, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, and Montreal Expos legend Pete Rose, aka “Charlie Hustle.”

Despite holding records for the number of outs, games played, at-bats, and hits, Rose was permanently banned from baseball and never inducted into the Hall of Fame after he admitted to placing bets on his own team to win. While the former Reds manager and 17-time All-Star has been permanently banned from the game, the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, could still honor him with membership, but they never did.

“Major League Baseball didn’t have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as ‘Charlie Hustle,’ into the Baseball Hall of fame,” said President Trump.

Rose passed in September 2024 at 83 years old.
