Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"(Jim) Palmer is the greatest 'situation' pitcher I've ever seen. He makes them beat him on a single and one run at a time. Most of the homers he gives up are solos because he only works to their power when the bases are empty." - Miller, Ray. Baltimore Orioles Pitching Coach. How Life Imitates the World Series. Boswell, Thomas. Author. Penguin Books. 31 March 1983. Page 66. [Jim Palmer Quotes]
