The 53-year-old Palmeiro, who last played in
2005, told The Athletic that he is thinking about making a
comeback.
"There's no doubt in my mind I can do it," says Palmeiro, who
ended his career as one of four players with 500 home runs and
3,000 hits. "I've taken care of myself really well. I've been
working out for years. Everything feels better than when I
played."

conference and the new manager of the storied franchise called
the job "the chance of a lifetime."

The Oakland Athletics' latest bid for a new stadium has
apparently struck out -- without even getting to the plate.
After announcing they had picked a "preferred site" for a new
privately financed stadium, the Athletics were informed by the
Peralta Community College District that it is not even
interested in discussing it.
The Athletics were looking at the 13-acre plot of land near
Laney College that was close to downtown Oakland. The team hoped
to move from the Coliseum to the new site by 2023, with a
proposal including a $500 million, 34,000-seat stadium as well
as retail and affordable housing.
