Jim Palmer vs. Bonds, Howard Cosell and Cy Youngs

About this episode

Jim Palmer shares captivating stories from his career and interactions with baseball legends.

Hall of Famer Jim Palmer joins us this week for a riveting interview. The greatest Orioles pitcher ever turned broadcaster has stories you won’t believe—and a memory that is second to none. What did his signing bonus look like 60 years ago? A lot different than today’s players, that’s for sure. He retells a conversation with Barry Bonds that had us stunned. And he was roommates with Robin Roberts? We didn’t know that! There are plenty of fascinating stories about the late, great Howard Cosell, plus some love for Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald, too. We keep it long, lean, and loose with Palmer. Don’t forget to subscribe or follow wherever you’re listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
