MLB can put this situation into the past, and Pete Rose will be eligible for Hall of Fame Cons Undermines players Gives bad reputation to the MLB Conditional Reinstatement based Upon Apology – Option 2

  12. Analysis on Ethics of Respect – Option 2 • Stated as if it was a law, this particular option would be identified as followed: Anyone banned from baseball should not be considered for reinstatement without apologies and admittance of guilt. • In regards to the categorical imperative, there are some formulations from the categorical imperative which are violated: The formula of Universal Law would violate this option because it would include exceptions to the accepted standard. • When considering the stakeholder groups, the dignity of certain stakeholders is compromised with accordance to this option: It threatens the dignity of law abiding players and also those in the Hall of Fame because their honorary position is being discredited upon his eligibility.

  13. Utilitarian Analysis – Option 2 • In regard to these harms and benefits, a creepy scenario is presented to other professional athletic leagues. • This Option also presents the most harms because it has all the harms of not reinstating Pete Rose but allowing him to be eligible in the hall of fame, but also has the added factor of ruining Pete Rose’s image.
