President Donald Trump said Friday he will issue a pardon to Pete Rose and called for the MLB all-time hit king to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"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," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously. WHAT A SHAME!
