American Hall of Famer and Baltimore Orioles legend whose exceptional control, late-career comeback and three Cy Young Awards produced 268 career victories and a partnership with Brooks Robinson that defined an era.
Jim Palmer was the Baltimore Orioles' ace for two decades, winning three AL Cy Young Awards and four World Series championships. Known for his beautiful mechanics, exceptional control, and devastating fastball-change combination, Palmer never gave up a grand slam in 3,948 innings — one of the most remarkable statistical anomalies in baseball history. He later became one of baseball's most recognisable television personalities.
