Jim Palmer was one of the best pitchers of his era. His delivery was unmistakable and his will to win undeniable. He was enshrined in Cooperstown in 1990 on the first ballot. On the inside right front tail is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's size 42 tag with wash instructions. Attached is the "Set 1 1977" flag tag. Across the front is "Orioles" in stylized script lettering. Below that and on back is the player number "22." Across the back is the player name “PALMER” on a white name plate. All lettering and numbering is done in orange on black tackle twill. Autographed on back in black marker with “HOF 1990” “1973, 75, 76 CY YOUNG” and “77 GAME USED” added and rates a 9. The jersey shows good game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
