I know he lied to Congress which was horrible and used for a short period time.
Do you think he could possibly be forgiven by the voters?

I'm not a fan. Just curious about others thoughts.

His stats. Possibly gone to waste.
14th all-time rbi鈥檚 1,835
9th all-time hr鈥檚 569
28th all-time runs scored 1,663
22nd all-time hits 3,020
3 Gold gloves

I think the guy should be in. He didn't use his entire career.

He should be punished by fines or some other form of reprimand but the guy should be in.

Fans seem to just focus on one bad incident.

He shouldn't get in if Sammy Sosa and Mark Mcguire don't get in

Why would anyone who cheats be rewarded for their deeds? He's no better than Barry "Steroid" Bonds. None of these guys should ever be allowed into the Hall of Fame!

Anyway, Palmeiro was never a money ball player. He never played for good teams and was never in a clutch position during his entire career. His stats add up to "Zero".

I don't know I'd put a question mark next to him.He's not as bad as McGurie but lying,I don't know I'd have to give it a long hard thought.

No, he CHEATED.




Don't say Barry Bonds cheated because there is NO PROOF that he took steroids.

thats what i was going say until its proven that sosa and bonds took roids and not just the usual proof that look at them now and when they strated thing. actualy real proof. i believe sosa and bonds havnt took them until proof come up.

he's got hall of fame numbers, but if baseball wants to send a true statement about cheating in the sport they need to make him ineligible for induction...if pete rose, clearly a hall of fame player, is outlawed for doing something which did not affect the outcome of any game he managed in, how can you allow someone who possibly altered the outcome of a number of games and lied to congress about it to be admitted? it's not even about his numbers, if baseball didn't have a steroid problem i'd be all for his induction even with the positive test because we don't know how many pitchers he faced are on steroids and how long he took them for...however, baseball needs to send a message to its players right now about where cheating will get them

I say no because in twenty years, he'll be remembered more for steroids and lying than anything he accomplished on the field. Palmeiro was never during season one of the game's premiere players. He was a stat compiler who was never the best player on his own team. During his career he played second banana to Juan Gone, Robby Alomar, Pudge, A-Rod, and Tejada. If it were all about stats, he'd be in, but to me cheating loses points (without automatically disqualifying a guy). I think the steroid era only has four hall of famers who if you only count the guys who probably didn't use steroids. Those four are Griffey, Maddux, Jeter and Glavine. Craig Biggio is borderline, and I have doubts about Pedro, Clemens, Unit, A-Rod, Pudge, Thomas, Giambi, Alomar, Helton, Walker, Sosa, Tejada, and of course Bonds. For me he's in if he was clean, but loses enough points to be shut out because dishonor and lack of integrity. Steroids were part of the game's history, so if the guy stood out in his era, I'd put him in. Raffy didn't.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He deserves it he broke the record he claims the prize! and by the way ORIOLES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO not only did he cheat he lied to America

First off, besides the government, who cares if he lied to Congress. I sure don't, because politics doesn't belong in sports. With that said, no I don't think he should be in the Hall of Fame. Yes, he has the numbers, and nobody with 500 HRs, and 3,000 hits has been kept out, but after 1991 he was mostly a DH. I just don't think a DH should be in.

i hate to say it but yea.
he did test positive for steroids after baseball initiated the no steroid policy in 2001. it's sad. he was a great player.
only a few have hit 500 homers and 3000 hits. if he wouldn't have tested positive 2 years ago, he would have been in, first ballot.
