Pete Rose is finally eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but he may not be as much of a lock as people think he is.

Rose's on-field resume speaks for itself - he is MLB's all-time hit king, won three World Series and was a 17-time All-Star with a career .303 batting average.

However, his gambling spurned his baseball life.

In 1989, amid accusations Rose had bet on the game while he was playing and managing, he was handed down a lifetime ban from the game. Two years later, the Hall of Fame said that anyone on baseball's ineligible list would not be eligible to be voted on.

However, MLB announced earlier this month that ineligibility ends after death, thus making Rose a candidate for Cooperstown. In all likelihood, Rose will get in, but some will always feel a type of way - including current All-Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson.

"He's obviously one of the game's greatest hitters. I don't know. I get it, but at the same time, he's one of the game's greatest players of all time. Leader in hits. Glad to see it, but also get both sides of it," the Baltimore Orioles star said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, but Henderson eventually begrudged.

"I would let him in. I mean, he's just too great of a player to not be in it," he obliged.

Henderson spoke to Fox News Digital on behalf of VKTRY, as he has been wearing their insoles since spring training. He said he saw their ads on Instagram, wore them, and never looked back.

"I was kind of intrigued by the idea behind it and the science behind it. So it was really cool when I had the opportunity to join the team," he said. "I kind of tested them out in spring training this year. For me, stability is a big thing, especially in the infield, in the box. That was the biggest thing I had to check off the list, and they passed the test."

Henderson is batting .301 with an .883 OPS in his last 23 games, so it is easy to see why he is a fan VKTRY insoles. However, he is going to have to wear them for a long time if he has any hopes of catching up to Rose.

In 2005, Liverpool came from three goals down to win the Champions League final vs. Milan. To this day, fans and players never tire of taking about it.

Perhaps they can learn something from their three defeats already this season.

These players have contracts that expire this summer, and there are some big names involved.

Despite hitting .396 through the Yankees’ first 49 games, Aaron Judge is a major long shot to breach the .400 over the full season, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. 

The length of the meeting, which extended beyond a half-hour, seemed odd.

"Georgia was loved, respected and admired by her friends here at Boxxer. Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time," a statement from Boxxer obtained by The Guardian read.

In a January Instagram post, O'Connor revealed that she had learned of her cancer diagnosis. She said she suffered through debilitating pain for weeks leading up to the diagnosis.

"For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong," O'Connor captioned a photo of her in a hospital bed. 

"I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did."

O'Connor added that doctors refused to take her concerns "seriously."

"But not one doctor f---ing listened to me. Not one doctor took me seriously. Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony," the Instagram post continued. "Instead, they dismissed me. They gaslit me, told me it was nothing, made me feel like I was overreacting. They refused to scan me. They refused to investigate. They REFUSED to listen. One even told me that it’s ‘all in my head.’ And now? Now the cancer has spread."

In February, O'Connor spoke out about another devastating personal circumstance.

"The last few months have been a rollercoaster," O’Connor wrote. "I’ve been pregnant with a beautiful baby, suffered a miscarriage, then got diagnosed with ‘incurable’ cancer. But I still feel on top of the world!"

More recently, O'Connor celebrated a milestone. She announced that she had "married that love of" her life on May 9. 

O'Connor was able to maintain her undefeated boxing record despite her battle with ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. She went pro in 2021. She earned medals at the 2017 and 2018 Youth World Championships during her amateur career.

O'Connor was born in Durham, England.
