Rafael Palmeiro signed with the Cleburne Railroaders of the independent American Association this season to prove that he can still play, and that he doesn’t need steroids to do it.
He may have a point.
In the fifth inning of Monday’s game against the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks, Palmeiro took Trey McNutt deep to rightfield for a solo homer.
Don’t believe Raffy homered?
