"... my all-time favorite, Jim Palmer, beat Koufax in Koufax's last game."

Palmer was a favorite of mine, as well. In the 1970's, I used to drive up to Baltimore from the DC area if there was a Sunday afternoon game with Palmer on the mound. I would get a seat on the third-base side, where Brooks Robinson still patrolled, eat a crab cake sandwich, and drink a couple of National Bo's. For a baseball fan, it doesn't get much better than that.

Palmer had the single best pitching motion I've ever seen. He was just a joy to watch. And he had great pacing, too - his games tended to be pretty quick - the Greg Maddux of his day.

Fifteen years, and I still miss Memorial Stadium. No frills, no BS, just a good place to catch a game.
