One of only four players with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs, Rafael Palmeiro received only 11 percent of the vote in his first year on the Hall of Fame ballot. It takes 75 percent to be elected. "I am disappointed, obviously I am disappointed, I thought I would get more support," Palmeiro said. "But I am grateful that I get to stay on the ballot for at least another year. Maybe I'll go up, maybe I'll go down. I thought I was worthy of a better showing than what I got, but I had a black mark against me my last year in baseball. That is hard to overcome. I know there were some voters that said, 'He's a Hall of Famer, but he tested positive. I can't vote for him.' That's the reality of it. And it is something I have to live with." On Aug. 1, 2005, Palmeiro, then 40, was suspended by Major League Baseball for 10 days for testing positive for steroids. That came less than five months after he appeared before Congress, pointed his index finger at the camera on national TV and said, under oath, that he had "never done steroids. Period."
