O's great Palmer gets $890K for botched surgery

 
Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer was awarded $890,000 by a jury Monday for damages resulting from a botched eye surgery, his attorney said. After a two-week trial, it took a jury about four hours to decide Palmer should receive the money for suffering, lost wages and mental and physical pain, Gary Cohen told The Associated Press. Palmer pitched for the Baltimore Orioles from 1965-84, winning three AL Cy Young Awards and finishing 268-152 with a 2.86 ERA. (link)
