Rafael Palmeiro played professional baseball for 20 years. He went to college at Mississippi State University. He debuted with the Chicago Cubs in 1986. In 1988 Palmeiro was traded to the Rangers. Once he was in the AL he was mostly used as the designated hitter. He had the most hits in the Al in 1990. Then in 1995 he began hitting 38 or more home runs. He would continue to do so through 2003. In 1999 he won a Gold Glove.

His legacy has been tarnished by steroid allegations. Jose Canseco identified Palmeiro as having used steroids. While Palmeiro denied it in front of congress, he later tested positive for a banned substance.
