Is Raffy A Ranger or Oriole in HOF?
With Rafael Palmeiro's place in the Hall of Fame assured now that he has joined the 3000 hit/500 HR club (one of only four players), the debate can now begin as to which team he will be associated with in Cooperstown: the Texas Rangers or the Baltimore Orioles?
If they went on merely time served, Texas would win (10 years to 6+ yrs). Milestones accomplished would be split (500th HR in Texas, 3000th hit in Balt.). Palmeiro did have career-best seasons stat-wise while in Texas (47 HR in '99 & '01, 148 RBI in '99, 203 hits in '91).
I know I'm speaking with a bias when I say that Raffy should be inducted as a Ranger. I think people probably most associate him with Texas than Baltimore. But I'm sure if you ask an Orioles fan, they could give the same argument in their favor.

No matter how good the arguments for the Rangers, I bet he goes in as an O because he'll still feel stung by the way he left the team.
