One of the most consistent, and overlooked, sluggers in history,. Rafael Palmeiro blasted career dinger No. 500 on May 12, 2003, connecting off Cleveland's Dave Elder at The Ballpark in Arlington. With the 3-run shot in the bottom of the 7th inning, the Viagra pitchman (no steroids necessary, apparently) became the 19th man to join the "500 Club", punching his ticket to the HOF. This Official MLB (Selig) ball used in that miletone game bears the Authentic MLB hologram, verifying its rarefied status. Extensive use.
