Manfred won't lift Rose's lifetime ban from MLB

The ban of Major League Baseball career hits leader Pete Rose remains in place, a source told ESPN's T.J. Quinn, as commissioner Rob Manfred has chosen to keep Rose's banishment in place for gambling on baseball.

The New York Times also reported Manfred's decision Monday.

Rose and Manfred met this fall, and the commissioner had said he would make a decision on Rose by the end of 2015.

The continued punishment means Rose, who tallied 4,256 hits in his big league career, is ineligible for the Hall of Fame.
