He has been the model of a great Major league player through out his carrer. While it is true his teams have not done well in the post season, he has a more than respectable record:

Unlike other sports where one person can win the game virtually on his own, in baseball each player can only bat once in every nine at bats. Whatsmore is he never misses a game.
Palmeiro is not flashy, he does not have a problem interacting with the press or fans. If he is not a first ballot hall of famer, baseball is sending the wrong message. They are saying being a nice guy, working hard and consistently over achieving is not good enough.
The fact that there is even a debate as to wheather or not he is a hall of famer, makes me shake my head.
As you can tell, I am a big fan of this guy!
