Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson are among deceased baseball players who have been removed from Major League Baseball’s permanently ineligible list, it was announced Tuesday.

Commissioner Rob Manfred ruled that MLB’s punishment of banned individuals ends upon their deaths.

Both Rose, the all-time hit leader, and Jackson, who played for the Chicago White Sox during the “Black Sox” scandal, had their careers and legacies tarnished by gambling.

They, along with others, are now eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

“Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game,” Manfred wrote in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who petitioned for Rose’s removal from the list Jan. 8, per ESPN. “Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve.

“Therefore, I have concluded that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be removed from the permanently ineligible list.”

According to the report, based on current rules for players who last played more than 15 years ago, Rose and Jackson could be enshrined is summer 2028 if they are elected at the earliest.

Rose was banned by then-Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti in August 1989, following an MLB investigation that determined the 17-time All-Star had bet on games while managing the Cincinnati Reds.

Jackson and seven other Chicago White Sox were banned from playing professional baseball in 1921 for fixing the 1919 World Series.

Jackson was a .356 career hitter. He died in 1951, but he remains one of baseball’s most recognizable names in part for his depiction by Ray Liotta in the 1989 movie Field of Dreams.

Rose holds record for hits (4,256), games (3,562), at-bats (14,053), plate appearances (15,890) and singles (3,215). He was the 1963 NL Rookie of the Year, 1973 MVP and 1975 World Series MVP. A three-time NL batting champion, he broke the prior hits record of 4,191 set by Ty Cobb from 1905-28.
