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 & the Hall of Fame...
As of most us know, the ballots for the 2011 Hall of Fame induction are due sometime in the next month and the baseball world awaits as to who’ll be included as immortals in Cooperstown, New York. Names such as former Oriole Roberto Alomar -- who would have been inducted last year if not for the Hirschbeck incident -- and Bert Blyleven will more than likely have busts up in the...

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?

He said the supplement he...

Palmeiro Still Lives In the State of Denial
Rafael Palmeiro is sticking to his guns by telling ESPN that someone gave him a "tainted" B-12 shot. He may have been better off not saying anything. -SportzAssassin

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 ...
