Baltimore Orioles pitching legend and broadcaster Jim Palmer made an on-air promise during the O's April 16, 2025 game that he was forced to follow through with on April 30, 2026. Palmer had never eaten a chicken wing in his life. He said that he would eat a wing on air if the Orioles hit a grand slam while he was in the booth. In the first game of an April 30 doubleheader against the Houston Astros, the Orioles hit two grand slams (Adley Rutschman and Jeremiah Jackson ), and Palmer reluctantly paid up. Rutschman's grand slam ball was in Astros center fielder Brice Matthews' glove, but when he hit the wall, it bounced over. The MASN crew might have left Palmer off the hook for that one, but the Jackson one was definitive.
