Rafael Palmeiro is contemplating a comeback

[Dick Whitman]

Paywall, but the stub gives the gist, I think.

Rosenthal: He's 53 and hasn't played in the majors since...

I bet he wins a Gold Glove in his first season back.

This belongs on the best one-liners thread.

How would someone go about trying to turn back the clock and defeat father time?

This thing where @manky_jimy co-opts the avatar photo of other posters has me buggin'!

Damn, two great one-liners on a single page!

**** Rafael Palmeiro.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Yeah, **** that Oriole.

Why would Rosenthal take this seriously?

Why would Rosenthal take this seriously?

Because... Rosenthal.

Because he's a baseball writer and it's December.

I'm contemplating dating Jennifer Aniston.

Two wrong predictions on one cover.

I'm contemplating dating Jennifer Aniston.

Reminds me of a good line a few months back on VSiN, the Vegas gambling channel. Rodgers went down but the Packers were still listed as 5-1 to win the title at one sportsbook and one of their hosts went on a rant. "5 to 1 to win the Super Bowl, gimme a break! I have better odds of dating Kate Upton!" Other host: "You're not 4 to 1 to date Kate Upton."

Bookie humor.

Any guesses on which team will sign Palmeiro, and how well he will hit?

Obviously we are talking AL teams so he can DH. I could see Boston signing him, since they couldn't get Stanton or Otani.

I'm guessing: .235 w/ 20 HRs in 350 at bats. (basically Pujols numbers but with a better OBP, and for a much lower salary)

I remember the cover. Did Brown actually participate in training camp? Or was it a conspiratorial charade with SI?

 

[SnarkShark]

Why would Rosenthal take this seriously?

This was my takeaway. What a ****ing joke.

Yep. This might be the most absurd alleged comeback since Jim Palmer tried one in about 1990 or 1992 in spring training.

An 0-21 start could make someone believe they could do better.
