Orioles Pitcher Jim Palmer Prank Sparks Mixed Feelings

Orioles emptied his locker into a shopping cart and wheeled it to the training room with a sign reading Palmers Room. Palmer laughed at first but grew irritated, criticizing baseball culture for dismissing pitchers injuries and recounting his stubborn back and prior shoulder problems and attempts to rehab in Puerto Rico and Baltimore.
