Jim Palmer
He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990; He is the only pitcher to win a World Series game in three different decades
Palmer's postseason success is equally impressive. He appeared in the playoffs eight times, contributing to three World Series championships, six American League (AL) pennants, and seven Eastern Division titles. Notably, Palmer is the only pitcher in MLB history to win a World Series game in three different decades. His performance in the 1966 World Series, where he pitched a complete-game shutout just days before his 21st birthday, remains one of the most memorable moments in baseball history. Palmer was also part of the Orioles' 1971 rotation, which featured four 20-game winners, a rare feat in the sport.
After retiring from professional baseball in 1984, Palmer transitioned into a successful career as a color commentator for MLB games. He has worked with major networks such as ABC, ESPN, and regional sports channels like Home Team Sports (HTS) and the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN). Palmer's insights and deep understanding of the game have made him a respected voice in baseball broadcasting. Additionally, he became a well-known spokesman, most notably for Jockey International, a role he held for nearly two decades. His nickname, "Cakes," originated in the 1960s due to his pre-game ritual of eating pancakes on the days he pitched.
Palmer's legacy was solidified when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990, a testament to his extraordinary career and contributions to the sport. His combination of skill, work ethic, and leadership on the field has made him a revered figure in baseball history. Today, Palmer remains an influential figure in the sport, both through his broadcasting work and his continued involvement with the Orioles organization.
