Aaron Boone expressed his happiness about MLB lifting Pete Rose's lifetime ban, making him eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Boone, who knew Rose personally through his father, emphasized that he believes Rose should have been inducted long ago. He acknowledged the ban's significance but reiterated that the Hall of Fame serves as a museum and should honor Rose's contributions to the game. Boone's comments reflect a mix of nostalgia, personal connection, and a desire for baseball to recognize Rose's impact.
"I think it's a good thing," Boone said at T-Mobile Park. "Obviously I have a long history with Pete and the family... Hopefully this is a good thing for baseball and [his] family."
"I've always maintained, I always feel like he should have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago... But when it came to the Hall of Fame, it felt pretty simple to me - he always should have been in there."
