Adam Jones Says He Would “Slap Jim Palmer Around”

Now THERE’S the first grand slam!

What would happen if Adam Jones faced Jim Palmer in his prime?  Jones answered that and many more questions in a live online Q&A with MASNSports.com‘s Amber Theoharis on Wednesday afternoon.

“I would slap Jim Palmer around,” Jones quickly responded.  ”I told Palmer that,” he laughed with Amber.

Jones added that Palmer would have more difficulty today with umpires using a smaller zone. “They had that chest high strike zone back then.”

Jones was clearly being humorous in his answers about facing Palmer and appears to have a good relationship with the Oriole legend.
