 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Rafael Palmeiro believes he "soon" will be able to explain himself and tell people why he tested positive for steroids.
"My day will come when I can say what happened. As of right now, I can't say anything. Hopefully soon," Palmeiro said Monday, a day after the embattled Baltimore slugger returned to the lineup following a 10-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's steroid policy.
He wasn't in the Orioles' starting lineup when the club began a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. On Sunday, Palmeiro went 0-for-4 with a walk in his return at Camden Yards and was both booed and cheered by the 30,954 fans. He hit a routine fly ball to right in the ninth inning to end the game, stranding two baserunners in a 7-6 loss to Toronto.
