Polk must want this one bad. They play Notre Dame and Coastal Carolina in a tournament this weekend- I would think that they would want to use their ace in one of those games.

He should have a statue at the stadium but that will never happen. It's really sad the way it all turned out

At least- for Polk's sake- he has his name on the stadium. Even though we put it up there 10 years too soon- of course, how could anyone at the time have known that he would have been back?

I'm glad that I didn't see him hiding in the bushes- that had to be one of the most pitiful moments in MSU baseball history. And bizarre- even for Polk. Cohen has let him in to watch practice before.

If my name was on the stadium and I had a box, hellbasically he built the stadium, I would walk in like I owned the joint no matter what. Batting practice, fielding practice, doesnt matter. My dad lost the state championship at Dudy Nobel(I think that was the game),his coach lined them up on the foul line and was going to run them after the game, and Polk came out and said, " sorry for your loss, but get the hell off my field." That feeling of "his field" doesnt go away.

ETA: When you get on the computer tomorrow dad, feel free to correct the story if i messed it up

I noticed on the UAB site that Rafael's son is Conf USA player of the week.

http://uabsports.cstv.com.../spec-rel/030711aaa.html

"Palmeiro posted a .389 batting average (7-for-18) last week and slugged .667 with a pair of doubles and his second home run of the season. He drove in at least one run in all four contests, including multiple RBI in all three games of UAB's weekend sweep of Cleveland State."
