Pete Rose again asked Major League Baseball to end his lifetime ban, saying the penalty is unfair compared with discipline for steroids use and electronic sign stealing.
Rose agreed to the lifetime ban in August 1989 after an investigation for MLB .
Rose also referenced Manfred’s decision on Jan. 13 to suspend Houston Manager AJ Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow for one season for their role in the Astros’ use of electronics to steal catchers’ signs in 2017 and 2018 but to not discipline players.
