Pete Rose and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson are now both eligible for baseball's Hall of Fame after their careers were tarnished by sports gambling scandals.

Pete Rose, who was banished from Major League Baseball for gambling on the game, has been removed from the league's permanently ineligible list and could be a contender for the Hall of Fame, MLB announced Tuesday.

A former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher is off to help the future of baseball from a prospective and development capacity following his retirement from the game earlier this year.
