A little info on this statue which is part of the "Orioles Legends
Celebration Series"...
Baltimore Orioles Honor Jim Palmer With Bronze
Statue Outside Of Camden Yards
From
MLB.com Posted on July 15, 2012
BALTIMORE ? Jim Palmer posted some
staggering numbers during his 19-year Oriole career. He won 268 games, earned
three Cy Young Awards, finished eight seasons with at least 20 wins and made it
into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
But when the team revealed
a larger-than-life bronze sculpture of Palmer at Oriole Park before Saturday?s
game as part of the Orioles Legends Celebration Series, the former right-hander
made one point clear several times ? he didn?t find this success
alone.
?To me, the theme of all these statues is not about what I
did, because I wouldn?t have won Cy Young Awards, and I wouldn?t have been in
the World Series, wouldn?t have won the Gold Gloves or had the chance to be in
all the playoffs if I didn?t have teammates,? Palmer said. ?I did my job. We
were winning because of us ? and it?s always about us.?
