"I hope that people learn from my mistake and I hope that the fans forgive me." ― Rafael Palmeiro Topic(s): Hope More From Rafael Palmeiro "They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion." "There’s a lot of history in Boston and a lot of history, obviously, in New York with all the championships." "I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I’m worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don’t, I gave it all that I had to this game." More In Hope "Hope founded upon a human being, a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced… because these things are unreliable and fleeting."― Charles Stanley "I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there’s hope out there."― Danielle Steel "At a point in every person’s life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one’s soul and decide one’s unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is."― James McGreevey
