Jim Palmer was the high-kicking, smooth-throwing hurler of Baltimore's six championship teams of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. His impressive numbers include 268 victories, a .638 winning percentage, eight 20-win seasons and a 2.86 ERA over 19 seasons. He also pitched his entire career without allowing a grand slam. Intensity was the trademark of this three-time Cy Young Award winner, who combined intelligence, strength, competitiveness and consistency to become the Orioles' all-time winningest pitcher.

Love Jim. Such a nice guy in person. He always signed autographs for fans. He is a consummate professional. He knew what came with the fame

I always thought Palmer and Seaver were the best pitchers in the seventies.

That's because they were.

A great man from a great class. Palmer and Morgan. They don't come any better than those two.

I was very blessed to have been in that small auditorium and to have met Palmer’s Dad and family. Because of rain the speeches could not be given outdoors in front of a large crowd.

One of the best HOF acceptance speeches ever. Funny, insightful and honest.

Jim was my favorite player next to Brooks. #22 #HOF

I grew up in Towson and played Little League in Rodger's Forge. On every team the best player seemed to always wear #5. The second best, #20. Third best, #22. I caught and wore #8. That tells you how good I was. Oh, this little kid ended up wearing the great Cal Ripkin's number. No, I wore #8 to honor my Oriole hero, Andy Etchebarren. And, yes, I was a Junior Oriole. Thank you Gino's!

@@robertrock8778 I met Andy in Cooperstown after a game between the Iron Birds and Bristol Tigers. He was Aberdeen's Skipper at the time. His autograph read "The real number 8".

I saw Jim Palmer go deep in Milwaukee before the DH with a 18 yr rookie named Robin Yount playing for the Brewers . Damn I'm old

Great to see this speech. Palmer was inducted in 1990, however, not 1992.

@bmorebob6624 Год назад

Love Jim Palmer!

Best speech I've ever seen at the HOF.

Jim Palmer was the man!

@Rpgedimac Год назад

Such a grateful, elegant man. Palmer looks like a baseball pitcher.

@Cavalier.440 Год назад

No wonder Cal was so good, he grew up with guys like Palmer, Brooks, Aparicio, Blair, ect, ect, the Oriole way. The last great Oriole, and he's been retired for 20 years. Palmer and his teammates set a standard and Cal certainly learned from the best. The Orioles have lost their way, hopefully they'll get it back. 🤞

@danlivni2097 Год назад

The amazing thing about Jim Palmer is, he won 20 games 8 times in the 1970s

@joehawk9839 2 года назад

A walking Encyclopedia when it comes to the game of baseball.His knowledge of the game is second to none.I feel Jim Palmer would have made a phenomenal pitching coach.He comes across as being arrogant,and feel that's maybe what kept him from pursuing coaching.On the other hand I think this is a major reason why he was so successful as a player and announcer.I can listen to him all day talking baseball and tell stories of his Hall of Fame Career.He is certainly one who did it the Oriole way.
