Hall of Fame pitcher, philanthropist and celebrity pitchman Jim Palmer has filed a lawsuit against a former friend, whom he claims defrauded the legend out of nearly $1 million before disappearing.According to the filing, obtained by DailyMail.com, Palmer claims defendant Warren Michael Holmes misrepresented himself as a successful British hair stylist to extract $985,000 in personal loans from the retired hurler and his wife, Susan. The loans were intended to be used to start a line of beauty products, but Palmer is now accusing Holmes of breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, fraud in the inducement and unjust enrichment.Perhaps worst of all, Holmes is accused of building trust with the family by befriending Palmer's autistic stepson, Spencer, before ultimately becoming the boy's guardian and trust manager.
