Whether it's the only appearance of your career or you go on to become a Hall of Famer, every pitcher takes the mound for the first time. Hall of Fame legend Jim Palmer made his debut on April 17, 1965 in Boston and pitched two shutout innings in relief of Robin Roberts, who got lit up for five in the first two frames. "Gentleman Jim" went on to win 268 games, including eight 20+ win seasons. PSA authenticated.
