Palmeiro Speaks About Steroids Again...Sticks By His Story
Drew Davison caught up with Rafael Palmeiro while he was watching his son play in a Texas Collegiate League game. Palmiero discussed steroids again and sticks by his original story; the B-12 shot he took was tainted.Since the positive test, Palmeiro continues to maintain that he took a tainted shot of vitamin B12, which he felt gave him an energy boost. He said the supplement he...

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 was only one of four players to reach those milestones, milestones that by themselves have assured...

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...

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...

Ever since 1999 when Rafael Palmeiro won a Gold Glove while playing 134 games as a DH it has been painfully obvious that the award was a joke.
11 years later and the award is still a joke.
Derek Jeter won his fifth Gold Glove Award joining teammates Mark Teixeira, who won his second, and Robinson Cano, who won his first, as this year’s winners.

Rafael Palmeiro Could be Telling Truth, Says Former Congressman
Filed under: MLB PEDs
WASHINGTON -- Rafael Palmeiro uttered the words a few corridors from here that defined his career more than his 3,020 hits, 569 home runs and three Gold Gloves.
"I have never used steroids, period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that," the slugger said before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in March 2005...
