Two weeks ago, I congratulated Rafael Palmeiro for joining an elite club of hitters who have hit 500 home runs and 3000 hits, stating:
Congrats to Rafael Palmeiro, someone I generally consider to be one of the genuine good guys in baseball (this is where all fo you tell me how he isn’t shattering yet another illusion), for joining one of the most elite clubs in baseball.
Breaking news on USA Today:
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Rafael Palmeiro, who testified before Congress on March 17 that he’d never used steroids, was suspended by Commissioner Bud Selig on Monday for 10 games for violating baseball’s steroids policy.
Ugh.
