Rafael Palmeiro Elected To College Hall Of Fame

JackWESQ

Some of you might have noticed that Rafael Palmeiro was elected to the College Baseball Hall of Fame recently.

I think he has no chance of being elected a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But even beyond that, I would not be surprised if he did not receive 5% of the vote and dropped off the ballot forever, notwithstanding his 500 HRs and 3000 career hits.

If only we KNEW when he started using steroids. It's too bad.

It's pretty easy to look at his stats to see when he started: 1993, the first full year after Canseco arrived. Prior to that, in 6 1/2 full seasons, Palmiero's best HR year was 26. The year after Canseco arrived, he hit 37, then went on to top out at 47 a few years later. I don't ever recall any hitter going over 3000 at bats before suddenly 'getting it' and then start mashing home runs.

he was a heck of a college ball player; too bad he decided to cheat and he will NEVER get in the HOF, just like McGwire and Bonds and Sosa.

Out of Bonds , McGwire , Sosa and Palmeiro , Palmeiro was definitely the greatest fraud. His numbers are the most over inflated and unrealistic of that group , especially the 500 homers. I only hope that the HOF voters shut him out and get him off the ballot that first year.
