We lived in an apartment complex in nearby Towson where many of the O's players lived (back before free agency and the big buck$$$ ). She caught his eye. And she rejected him because she thought he was too young.

Probably just as well. Here's the call: "Here's the 1-1 to Carew from Palmer. Swung on and lined into right field, base hit. What's this? Some kid jumped off the top of the dugout and he's running out onto the field, and he's biting Rod Carew's leg! Good Lord, they're telling us it's Jim Palmer's stepson!"
