He's 53 and hasn't played in the majors since '05 but Rafael Palmeiro is eyeing a comeback

Here's something I bet you never thought you'd hear: Rafael Palmeiro, who famously testified to Congress in March of 2005 that he never used steroids before getting suspended in August of 2005 for using steroids, is considering an MLB comeback at the ripe age of 53.
Palmeiro, who played from 1986-2005, hit 569 homers in his career. He is adamant he can still rake, telling The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, "There's no doubt in my mind I can do it. I've taken care of myself really well. I've been working out for years. Everything feels better than when I played."
It seems Palmeiro, who played for the Cubs, Rangers and Orioles, is motivated by the steroids scandal.
"Maybe 12 years later, I can prove to the whole world that I didn't need anything to have a good career," he said. "Maybe 12 years later, if I can come back and prove I don't need anything as an older player with an older body, then people might think, 'OK, maybe he didn't do anything intentionally.'"

I have no doubt he could still hit a fastball.
I have doubts they he could play defense, run, and stand up to the grind of a baseball season.

Palmeiro should be in the HOF and so should all the other known juicers from the era.
Its weak shite that nobody bats an eye at a known cheater like Gaylord Perry being in but then everyone loses their shite when steroids are in play.

He could do the Canseco circuit and sign 3 day contracts with a bunch of indy league teams around the country. It helps bring the crowds to the indy teams. He can make a couple bucks (that he probably doesn't need). Sonoma Stompers should give him a call.

I have no doubt about this
I also have no doubt that his hand/eye coordination has severely deteriorated and that the heat pitchers consistently throw now would make him shite his pants.

Michael Jordan could eye a comeback, but if he has not takers then what good is it.

Satchel Paige is the oldest player to ever play in MLB and he was 59.
And he pitched one game.
The next oldest was also a pitcher. Jack Quinn aged 50. And that was in 1933.

I can't imagine the shite he's taking while he's out of the testing pool
