I personally think it should have been lifted many years ago.
As long as that rule stays in the book as written then they don't have a lot of leeway to lift the ban.
From what I can see MLB does still acknowledge his record, at least it's on their website where he shows as the all time hits leader.
Yeah they've repeated the 4,200 + quite a bit but honestly I think because the Reds as an organization have still loved and supported him, for the most part, the MLB kind of has to acknowledge his presence and accomplishments.
Maybe you said this yourself idr, they let slide the Mark MacQuires if the league because the league was in trouble so they needed the fan money but, that's what set people off about Rose in the first place. Idk I wasn't alive during his reign nor was I old enough to truly develop an opinion. I just love the guy as an entertainer and ball player. Crazy immoralities outside the game aside, he did a good job for the sport. If he wasn't amazing at the sport this would never be a debate.
