He is one of only five players in MLB history to achieve both 3,000 hits and 500 home runs, finishing his career with 569 home runs and 3,020 hits. Palmeiro was a four-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger Award winner. However, his legacy is marred by a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs in 2005, which led to a suspension and controversy over his achievements. more
