He bet against his own team.
In a negotiated settlement with (then) Commisioner Bart Giamatti, Pete Rose agreed to a "permanent" ban on any association with major league baseball. The agreement allowed Rose to seek a re-instatement, but he has never done so. There is no indication that the present Commisioner, or any future one, would look kindly on any such application; as Rose not only repeatedly bet on baseball, including his own team, but completely lied about doing so for years afterwards. The ban basically means that Rose can not appear in any function involving MLB, including celebrations, reunions, or sponsored events. No team, not even the Reds, can officially introduce Rose when he comes to the stadium, or even formally retire his number.
Rose accepted a permanent ban from baseball in 1989 for breaking Major League Rule 21 which defines misconduct, specifically Rule 21(d) which states in part: "Any player, umpire, or club or league official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform shall be declared permanently ineligible." MLB investigated Rose on the allegations that, while manager of the Cincinnati Reds, he bet on MLB games including Reds games and concluded that the allegations were true although they came up with no evidence that Rose had bet against the Reds. MLB issued him a lifetime suspension which could be appealed after one year. Rose has twice appealed the suspension without success. Rose has since admitted that he bet on MLB games, including Reds games, during his time as manager of the Reds.
