Pitchers have long been seen as the most valuable players to have on teams in Major League Baseball. It is for this reason that pitchers only play 35 games per season, yet they still make the same amount of money as the other players on the team that play 160 times per year.

Each year there is an award given out to the best pitcher of the year called the CY Young award. This award is given to the best pitcher in the National League and the best pitcher in the American League. During the 1970s there was one pitcher that was more dominant than just about all of the other pitchers in the league. Jim Palmer was a fantastic pitcher and was the anchor to the pitching staff of the Orioles. During the 1970s Palmer managed to win the Cy Young award 3 different times. His awards came in 1973, 1975 and 1976.

Palmer was not only a solid pitchers for the Orioles in the 1970s, he was actually an anchor for the Orioles in 3 separate decades. He began pitching for the Orioles in the 1965 and continued his work until 1984.

Palmer had quite the career during his time with the Orioles. Over the course of his ...
... career he managed to put up a hall of fame caliber set of statistics. Whether you look at the amount of wins he got over the course of his career, the ERA that he achieved or the total number of strikeouts that went to his credit, he was simply a dominant pitcher over the course of his career.

During his career he managed a total record of 268-152. This is an excellent winning percentage, but his ERA reflects a pitcher that is even better than his win/loss record. He had an earned run average of 2.86 over the course of his career. It is stellar when a pitcher is in the low 3’s in terms of ERA, but Palmer was clearly a cut above the rest as he had a career ERA under 3 over the course of his career. He also managed to strikeout 2,212 batters over the course of his career. Truthfully, this isn’t an enormous amount of strikeouts for a pitcher that pitched for 20 years, but it is still impressive that he was able to be so effective for so long.

Over the course of his career he managed to rack up a number of accolades. He made the all-star team 6 different times over the course of his career. He also managed to help his team win the World Series three different times. He is one of very few players in the history of the game to ever win a World Series in three different decades. He also was a stellar pitcher in terms of fielding. He managed to win four gold gloves over the course of his career. He was voted into the hall of fame as 93 percent of voters approved his admission into the hall.
