Baseball Hall of Fame member Jim Palmer is widely recognized as the greatest pitcher in Baltimore Orioles history. During a career that spanned 19 years, he won 268 games and was the Cy Young Award winner three times. He is the youngest pitcher in history to pitch a World Series shutout and the only pitcher to win World Series games in each of three decades. He was named to the All-Star team six times and elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990, his first year of eligibility.

Since retiring from baseball in 1984, Jim has enjoyed a successful career as a motivational speaker, television personality and sports broadcaster. For two decades, he was the national symbol for Jockey underwear's marketing campaign and is currently the national corporate spokesperson for The Money Store. Palmer has also been active in charities and has raised over $1 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and served as their national sports chairman.
