- Jim Palmer had a childhood resembling something out of a movie. He even spent some of his early years in Hollywood. He broke into major league baseball in 1965, and has reliably been on our televisions ever since.

Jim Palmer is all time great. A big part of 3 World Series winners and had to compete against some great teams like the 70's A's and Yankees
Yeah, success for the O's always seems to coincide with other powerhouses rising out of their division/league. Case an point, this year, given how strong the AL East is.
300 innings a season (or close to it ) almost every year in the 70s. And for some weird reason he was considered “soft”. Go figure!
Palmer is a Baltimore treasure. 50+ with the Orioles. The fact he never gave up a grand slam is pretty remarkable.
Palmer is the greatest oriole ever
Great. Now I want some pancakes! 😂
Wade Boggs wants some chicken and a video about him🤣
Yet again, hats off to Hatbilly. Some of the best beisbol commentary online. Great old videos!
Always a treat, informative and well worth the 1000 hrs of editing you put in. Thank you for this.
Thank you, John! You're absolutely right. It's a grind, but well worth it for the community I've found through baseball on here.
What a true legend!
Jim and Brooks,those are the types of orioles i want back on the team.
One of the greatest pitcher of all time my favorite baseball player I had the honor to see him pitch at spring training in miami my favorite Baltimore orioles player along with eddie murray cal ripken and brooks robinson the greatest 3rd baseman of all time r I p
Jim Palmer never gave up a grand slam during his Hall of Fame career! ⚾️
Was my favorite pitchers as a kid.
Big leg kick gets it done. All those great pitchers all had great leg kicks
Awesome video. One of the greatest.
If you ever wanted to know how good Palmer was, all you had to do was ask him.
Thanks for putting this together. Jim Palmer is my favorite Oriole.
When did Aberdeen move from Maryland to Minnesota?
There's an Aberdeen, MD & Aberdeen, SD. The O's have had a farm club in both. Hope that comes up at trivia night some time.
I love Jim 2 but having the Robinsons dosent hurt... basically having 2 short stops on left side.
Cam and I did a video on the Robinsons as well. Check it out on his channel!
It's a good day when Hatbilly puts out a video. Thanks dude and great work as always.
Much appreciated, William!
“Jim Palmer signs your mom’s ass in the mall”.. this is an instant RUclips gem!
I really appreciate it!
Wins are primarily a team stat 😂😂😂. How many pitchers with average talent/stuff win 20 games in a season? I'm not going to look it up but I am certain that it is an anomaly when it has happened.
When Palmer played, it was the primary measuring stick for pitchers, so it's worth mentioning when discussing players of that era.
@@Hatbilly baseball is still baseball and wins are still a strong indicator of the caliber of any starting pitcher. Same goes for traditional offensive stats such as BA and RBI's for position players. Sabermetrics are a farce. It gives nerds the chance to reinvent the wheel and by default screw up that wheel or in this case maybe not ruined the game but certainly have not helped it any.
HatBilly, you mentioned the very guy I've been thinking about asking you to do a piece on, Mark Fidrych!! Well, you didn't, but the other guys narrating over your channel did, anyways.
So, I gotta say it, man..: Most of the charm of your videos is You, bud. You've got a real instinct for storytelling, and having half the damn thing covered by the everyday cookie-cut narration of something that sounds like every other channel on the entirety of TheTube is just fuckin killing me, brother!
Okay, mini-rant being deployed, this was yet (for the most part) another great video on another absolute fucking legend of baseball for an O's fan, and I enjoyed it, as always. But, I just can't say "Thanks for keeping unique content out here" this time.
Sure, I'll cover Fidrych here eventually. What a beloved weirdo.
Another great video. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks! Saw you're a Wade Boggs guy, that influenced me using that clip of his base hit in that clip of Palmer's spring training comeback attempt.
Jim Palmer appeared in all 6 World Series the Baltimore Orioles have played in. If you define a team history by their stay in one city (making Brooklyn and Los Angeles, for example, two different teams), Palmer is the only player who has played in all of his team's World Series among teams with more than 2 appearances.
Thanks for pointing that out! A very rare case where one players has soaked up nearly all of the franchise's success.
@@Hatbilly Someday, of course, Palmer will lose that distinction, when the O's make it to their 7th WS. For anyone reading who might be wondering, there are three other players who appeared in their teams' first six World Series, and, as you might suspect, they're all Yankees, Waite Hoyt, Bob Meusel, and, of course, Baltimore native Babe Ruth (who appeared in their first seven).
I really appreciate your channel. Your videos take me back to my childhood and watching many of my favorite players on TV and at the ballpark with my dad. If you take requests, I would love it if you could make a video about a couple of my all time favorites, Bert Blyleven and Bobby Grich. Thanks again for creating such a great channel.
Two good choices, I'll second that.
Thank you! Both are very interesting players! I'll most definitely add those to the list. I'm currently reading an article about Grich dumping beer on President Nixon. A good ballplayer could get away with anything in those days! 😂
The thing I most admired about Grich was he always played every game like it was game 7 of the World Series , yet always seemed to be having fun. With Blyleven, every time people would say he was washed up or didn't have it anymore, he just went out there and proved them wrong.
@@Hatbilly LOL, that is great, never heard that story before.
@@jameshunt9907 Maybe it is just the get off my lawn old man in me but I miss the 70's thru mid 80's game. Style of play but the players seemed to have a lot more fun without showing anyone up.
Been subscribed to this channel for a long time. GREAT channel. I ALWAYS appreciate the hard work you put in to bring us these awesome vids. Thank you. EDIT - had Jim not lost most of '67 and all of '68 - he may well have reached the 300 win mark. But as it is the man is one of the greatest starting pitchers of all time.
HatBilly is the MAN...and Cam is pretty tits 2!!! Where's WoodBooger???
Much appreciated! Woodbooger may see a glorious return one day, you never know. 🤣
Very interesting video, Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I just took the time to check out your videos. Really creative stuff! Thanks for bringing so many great stories out of obscurity.
Thanks for sharing this remarkable production. I was looking forward to this release, and it lived up to the hype, and then some. I've had Jim Palmer on the brain the last month and a half, as I've retroactively learned more, and more about the history of the league. This spotlight on Palmer's life, and career has made me an even bigger fan of his legacy. I'll have to check out of one his books in the future. And of course, his games on RUclips. Cheers mate.
I appreciate the support and kind words! I'm with you, Palmer's a legend. All of his World Series appearances are on here, for the most part, with the ones in the latter part of his career being the better quality uploads, as you'd expect. 😊
I just gave “Pitching” to a 14yo kid, an aspiring pitcher!
I'm sure Mr Palmer would want it in the kid's hands, as well. Best of luck to him on his baseball journey!
So great! For those younger than me, there was no interleague play, other than the All-Star Game and World Series. The first half of this video shows Palmer striking out the best of the best of the 70's, Stargell, Clines (PIT), Joe Morgan(Reds), Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski(Phillies), and in his own league, I think the Angel #22 is Bobby Grich. We all saw the All-Star Game on a major network, and the Series. Otherwise, the Saturday Game of The Week, and for a little while, Monday Night Baseball. We could pretty much all talk about what we saw at school or work, because we all saw the same games. This footage is great! Cal Ripken Jr in the Jockey commercial with a full head of hair!
Thank you! The rise of all the regional sports networks sure has changed the landscape. It's great seeing your team more often,, but baseball and conversation piece at school or work is pretty much a thing of the past. I feel like I have to get on the internet to discuss baseball. Thankfully we've built a little community on here. 🙂
I was really hoping his brief attempt at a comeback back 1991 would've worked out.
It would have made for some good baseball. He's a crafty enough pitcher, I think he'd have still gotten outs with or without the overpowering fastball.
Fun fact: Had that comeback been successful, Palmer would have been the first player to play after being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Another awesome job from the Starter and the closer,my new name for the both of you.I always thought Palmer would of made a tremendous pitching coach.I can listen to him talk baseball all day long.His knowledge of the game is second to none.I have heard that they kept his injury from the car accident a secret, because if the Orioles management knew about it they wouldn't have signed him.Any insight or truth to this on your behalf?
I appreciate it, Joe! From what I could tell in the SABR article I read, that's most likely why he kept that incident under wraps.
I remember Palmer striking out Johnny Bench on three straight curveballs in the All-Star Game. Bench said he never expected to get three in.a row.
I tried to squeeze all three in there, but the two of them just flowed better in the context of the video!
@@Hatbilly You did a great job!
Youre a great pair of new baseball youtubers
Thanks for the support! It's awesome to see community forming in this space.
