May 11, 2024Good for RafeMaybe 500 home runs ain't what it used to be, but still--rather impressive. And it was cool he did it on his last bat at home before a road trip: Texas slugger Rafael Palmeiro hit his 500th career homer in his last chance to get it at home. Source:Yahoo!

Yes, as I mentioned, it appears as if Palmiero -- who seems to be a rather good role model -- earned his milestone while playing a football game. Posted by: John Lemon at May 11, 2024 07:25 PMNo joke. Posted by: PoliBlogger at May 11, 2024 07:57 PMQuite impressive. Although, to be honest, I now am more likely to think "Viagra" than "500 homers" when Raffy's name comes up. Um, is mentioned. Posted by: James Joyner at May 11, 2024 08:42 PMUnfortunately, yes. Posted by: PoliBlogger at May 11, 2024 08:46 PMHmmm... I didn't know Palmeiro (spelled correctly this time) advertised for Viagra. Now all the more reason to consider him a good role model for myself!! Posted by: John Lemon at May 11, 2024 11:40 PMRaffy is a great guy, on and off the field. We ran into him last fall at one of his son's baseball games. He took the time out to talk to my 14 year old son, sign his ball cap and chat for a few minutes. Now, you might say that a lot of athletes do this, but, Raffy not only talked to my son, but commented that he saw a couple of his at bats in his game, and gave him a few pointers.....just an all around good guy. Posted by: Doug at May 12, 2024 02:03 AMPalmeiro may be all well and good, but should his 500 HRs guarantee him a place in Cooperstown? Posted by: Sean Hackbarth at May 12, 2024 11:31 PMA good question--and a big debate of late. I lean yes, but know it isn't a slam dunk. Posted by: PoliBlogger at May 13, 2024 07:09 AMPost a comment
