<P> In public comments, Selig said he saw no reason to reconsider Rose's punishment; however, in March 2003, Selig acknowledged that he was considering Rose's application, leading to speculation that Rose's return might be imminent . Ultimately, however, Selig took no action . </P> <P> Representatives for Rose applied in 2015 for reinstatement with Selig's successor, Rob Manfred . However, on December 15, 2015, Manfred rejected the request . Manfred stated that Rose had not been forthcoming about his gambling and that Rose (who by this time was living in Las Vegas) was still betting on baseball . Although Rose was placing legal bets by this time, MLB has long barred players, managers, and coaches from any form of gambling on baseball, legal or otherwise . He also felt that Rose did not have "a mature understanding of his wrongful conduct" and the damage it had done to the game . For these reasons, Manfred concluded that allowing him back in the game would be an "unacceptable risk ." </P> <P> On April 20, 1990, Rose pleaded guilty to two charges of filing false income tax returns not showing income he received from selling autographs and memorabilia and from horse racing winnings . On July 19, Rose was sentenced to five months in the medium security Prison Camp at the United States Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, and fined $50,000 . Marion was the hometown of Ray Fosse, the catcher whom Rose bowled over during the All - Star game nearly twenty years prior, resulting in injuries that would plague Fosse for the rest of his career . He was released on January 7, 1991, after having paid $366,041 in back taxes and interest and was required to perform 1,000 hours of community service . </P> <P> On February 4, 1991, the Hall of Fame voted formally to exclude individuals on the permanently ineligible list from being inducted into the Hall of Fame by way of the Baseball Writers' Association of America vote . However, a longstanding unwritten rule already barred permanently ineligible players from enshrinement . Rose and Jenrry Mejía are the only living members of the ineligible list . Players who were not selected by the BBWAA could be considered by the Veterans Committee in the first year after they would have lost their place on the Baseball Writers' ballot . Under the Hall's rules, players may appear on the ballot for only fifteen years, beginning five years after they retire . Had he not been banned from baseball, Rose's name could have been on the writers' ballot beginning in 1992 and ending in 2006 . He would have been eligible for consideration by the Veterans Committee in 2007, but did not appear on the ballot . In 2008, the Veterans Committee barred players and managers on the ineligible list from consideration . Eight years later, Rose petitioned the Hall of Fame to permit his name to be submitted for induction, saying that he had not expected to be prevented from Hall of Fame consideration when agreeing to the lifetime ban . </P>
