1986-2005, Palmeiro hit, 3,020 hits, 585 Doubles, 1,835 RBI's, 1,663 Runs Scored and .288 BA. Those numbers make his a virtual lock, however, with his dirty test his final season in 2005 with the Baltimore Orioles, will that wipe out his entire career? He always seemed to be the same size his entire career, 6' 185#, always had that mustache, just seemed like a normal guy, I would've never thought he was juicing. He had 10 years of hitting more than 30 HR's and 100 RBI's, amazing consistency, and never really had a freakish year like 73 HR's for Bonds in 2001. Just a model of consistency. He was mentioned in Jose Canseco's book and Jose's allegations have come to fruition with Palmeiro. Raffy would be the first player ever to hit 500 HR's and 3000 hits and not make the Hall. What can he do to repair his image to eventually make the Hall? or does he have no shot? Also, why should Bonds make it (Bonds was a juicer) and not Raffy?
