Friday’s Cold Stahoviak: Rafael Palmeiro

We’ve covered Raffy here before, and we laughed at him because he did steroids and pretended he didn’t. He really wants to be back in the news because he really wants to be in the Hall of Fame and he wagged his finger . Generally speaking, steroid users are mostly frowned upon by Hall voters for sullying baseball’s legacy, and as a non-voter, I wouldn’t really have anything...

Palmeiro’s Steroid Denial : That’s His (Needle) Story & He’s Sticking To It

Rafael Palmeiro’s 2005 suspension for use of performance enhancing drugs was thought by many to be a serious blow to his Hall Of Fame chances, and a subsequent explanation (ie. ratting on Miguel Tejada) wasn’t thought to have done Raffy much good in the court of public opinion. Still, Palmeiro doggedly continues his attempts at reputation repair, telling SI.com’s Mel Antonen...

Rafael Palmeiro's Case for the Hall

Ahead of next week's Hall of Fame election announcements, I wanted to take a closer look at the candidacy of former Oriole first baseman, Rafael Palmeiro.When Palmeiro retired, I thought he was a slam dunk and was surprised by those who thought he wasn't. 500 home runs and 3,000 hits?

Rafael Palmeiro, Can’t Beat The Real Thing, Coke Commercial

Rafael Palmeiro, Can?t Beat The Real Thing, Coke Commercial. This commercial just struck me as sad and funny. I just have to keep telling myself not to take the whole steroids thing personal. It?s just business. I love how the commercial ends you have Raffy walking away and the caption is ?Can?t ...
