Palmeiro Tests Positive for Steroids

In an effort to avoid the Baseball Hall of Fame, former MSU baseball player Rafael Palmeiro has tested positive for steroids. As they say, if it's sounds too good to be true then it probably is: I should have known that Mississippi State's baseball program was getting too much positive attention at one time following his 3,000th hit. The effects of this positive test, combined with Jose Canseco's accusation in March, will have long and hard effects on his career (though if the effects last more than 48 hours you should see a physician).

It looks like MSU's new athletic building project, the Palmeiro Center, may go down in history with Ole Miss' Trent Lott Leadership Institute in the "maybe-we-should-have-waited-a-little-bit-longer-before-naming-a -building-after-him" category. I wonder if there's an Ebbers Hall at Mississippi College?
