For whatever reason, Donald Trump is meeting with Rob Manfred Tuesday morning.
While there’s nothing out there (yet) detailing why baseball’s commish is at Trump Tower meeting the president-elect, one has to speculate if they’ll chat about one of The Donald’s favorites topics of discussion.
Pete Rose.
For years, Trump has been championing the hit king’s reinstatement into baseball and, more importantly, his induction into the Hall of Fame.
Can't believe Major League Baseball just rejected @PeteRose_14 for the Hall of Fame. He's paid the price. So ridiculous – let him in!

Now, if Trump’s support of Rose looks familiar…there’s this from July 2015.
Let Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's time, he has paid a big and very long price!

April 2015.
Glad to see that @PeteRose_14 has been hired by @FOXSports as an analyst. Pete should be around baseball and in the Hall of Fame!

Two months before that.
Let Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame now – 35 years is enough!

After watching all about the horror story that is A-Rod, I realized again that it is time to let Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame!

Those four separate times from December 2013.

Come on MLB, do the right thing! Let @PeteRose_14 into the Hall. No drugs—just hard work and talent!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 10, 2013
Major League Baseball: The best thing you can do is let @PeteRose_14—your all time hits leader—into the Hall of Fame. It's time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 10, 2013
It’s time for @PeteRose_14 to enter @MLB’s @BaseballHall. All time hits leader has paid the price.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2013
And all the rest of the times.
@PeteRose_14 Once again, it is time to let all time hits leader Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He has paid a big price!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 15, 2013
Let @PeteRose in the HOF – it's time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2013
Why has all time hits leader Pete Rose paid a 20 year price whrn A-Rod gets 200 game penalty. It's time to let Pete into The Hall of Fame!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 6, 2013
Pete Rose should now be allowed in The Baseball Hall of Fame. The all-time hits leader has paid the price already!

I’m not a Trump supporter, but I do appreciate his tenacity and willingness to stick to his beliefs. That said, I am disappointed we never did get to see Rose on “The Celebrity Apprentice”.
"@MarkFleming22: @realDonaldTrump Is there any particular celebrity you would want to have on The Apprentice?" Pete Rose & let him in Hall!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2014
And, yes, I would’ve watched.
