Pete Rose, banned from baseball for life in 1989, will be eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame after a ruling by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.

Kane stated that former baseball player Pete Rose would have excelled as a professional wrestler and deserved to be in the Hall of Fame.

Rose finished with an MLB-record 4,256 career hits and broke Cobb’s record of 4,189 on Sept. 11, 1985.
