Because I occasionally do requests, this card is being posted at the strong urging of regular reader Bob, a.k.a. "Commish". He pointed out that the Jim Palmer jersey swatch card that I featured in June served to spark a five-game winning streak by the O's, and that the beleaguered Birds could use all the help they can get right now. I can't argue with that logic!One of the great things about Palmer's cards is that an especially high percentage of them seem to feature him without a hat, as though the master pitcher were so preoccupied with his own matinee idol good looks that he wouldn't dare sully them by covering up his chestnut locks with that vulgar tri-colored cap with its leering cartoon bird. And who was going to tell him to get himself in full uniform? Who would dare? Some two-bit photographer from Topps? Ha. I think not.
So come on, Jim. Use all the Samson-like powers of your unruly coif to will the Orioles to victory.

I know you are a bit too young Kevin, but the 80's was epitomized by large, unruly manes (mine included).
Bob - If Terry Crowley could give our righties any advice on hitting JP Howell's changeup, we may have pulled it out.
Big D - Yeah, we could use about ten of him.
Tim - Eddie Murray agrees.
Seriously folks, whoever "anonymously" posted the last photo needs to grow up.
Missed the picture. I take it that it WASN'T a 'Jim Palmer in his Jockey's' shot.
