Jim Palmer’s 1977 Baltimore Orioles Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career

Jim Palmer, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, enjoyed a remarkable 19-year career with the Baltimore Orioles. His tenure was marked by extraordinary achievements, including three World Series championships and three American League Cy Young Awards. In 1977, Palmer led the American League in wins, a feat he accomplished three times, and secured one of his four Gold Glove Awards. His legacy is immortalized by the Baltimore Orioles, who retired his No. 22 jersey, and by his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1990.
