Palmeiro easily. Why? - Palmeiro never really did anything special in the first place. Quiety went about his way to 500. Mac, on the other hand, had one of the most magical seasons in sports history. He and Sammy combined to get baseball out of the doldrums from the 94 strike. Everyone remembers 98. - Palmeiro veamently denied (pointed finger) doing steroids. Mac didnt. Yah, he basically did admit, but the fact is, that he didnt admit or deny. Palmeiro flat out denied and lied. - Mac's a more likeable guy anyway. - A lot of the stuff Mac did at the time was legal. Palmeiro used a high-end steroid used by sprinter Ben Johnson. - Mac has more homeruns - biggest stat in the book, hits dont even come close.
