Jim Palmer Tries First Chicken Wing On Air After Rutschman Grand Slam

A playful 2025 booth pact turned a grand slam into a light on-air moment for an Orioles legend.

Overview

  • Palmer, 80, tried his first chicken wing on MASN following Thursday's Adley Rutschman grand slam.
  • He had pledged during a 2025 broadcast with play-by-play voice Kevin Brown to eat exactly one wing after the next Orioles grand slam he called.
  • In the eighth inning, MASN reporter Rob Long brought wings to the booth and Palmer ate one, calling it "a lot of skin" and "greasy" before saying it was "pretty good."
  • Baltimore beat Houston 10-3 in the matinee to secure the series win.
  • Astros center fielder Brice Matthews nearly hauled in Rutschman’s drive, and later Jeremiah Jackson hit a seventh-inning grand slam for Baltimore’s first multi-slam game since Sept. 11, 2015.
