Rafael Palmeiro

I first met Rafael Palmeiro during Spring Training at Jack Russell Memorial Stadium in Clearwater, Florida, when he came to play the Philadelphia Phillies. Rafael signed a 1992 Upper Deck baseball card. Mr. Palmeiro had quite an accomplished career, amassing 3,020 hits and 569 career home runs! Unfortunately,  Mr. Palmeiro was one of many of the games talented players to be accused of using performance enhancing drugs during his career and has been black listed from the sport and not given serious thought into entering the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
