Jim Palmer’s Iconic 1970 Baltimore Orioles Jersey

A Legendary Pitcher’s Legacy

Jim Palmer, the greatest pitcher in Baltimore Orioles history, is celebrated for his illustrious career spanning from 1965 to 1984. A revered Hall of Famer, Palmer’s achievements are nothing short of extraordinary. He won 20 games in a season eight times, tying with Lefty Grove for second place all-time, only behind the legendary Walter Johnson. Palmer’s accolades include three Cy Young Awards and four Gold Gloves, underscoring his dominance on the mound. His clutch performances in pennant-clinching games from 1966 and 1969-1971 are etched in baseball lore. Notably, his final win came in relief during Game Three of the 1983 World Series, making him the first pitcher to win a World Series game in three different decades.
