Jim Hardin was a member of one of the best pitching staffs of the 1960s and 1970s that included Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Tom Phoebus, and Mike Cuellar.  He earned a championship ring in the 1970 World Series and was part of the dominant 1969 American League champs who lost that year's World Series to the "Miracle Mets".  An 18 game winner in 1968, Hardin pitched 4-1/2 years with Baltimore, half of one season with the Yankees and one year with the Braves. He finished his career with a record of 43-32 and a 3.19 ERA. 

Over the course of six major league seasons, Hardin's teammates included such luminaries at Hank Aaron, Boog Powell, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Felipe Alou, Dusty Baker, Paul Blair, Mel Stottlemyre, Don Baylor, Davey Johnson, Thurman Munson, Phil Neikro, Orlando Cepeda, and Mark Belanger.
