"I would not begin to compare Palmer and Koufax. The only information we can give you on Jim Palmer is this: That if this young man this afternoon is able to throw strikes, we are in for one of the most interesting pitching battles in recent Series history. There can be no doubt about the fact that Jim Palmer is the hardest throwing pitcher on the Oriole staff. He has a fine fastball, a good curveball and if he does get in trouble, it is always the same thing: control."
