Larry Walker, future in the hall?

December 07, 2008 at 01:08AM View BBCode

Most people have never heard of Larry walker but, he is one of the greatest, most under rated right fielders ever.

he is remarkably similar to Roberto Clemente in batting many stats. this is a display of his own accomplishments.

5 time all star

4 batting titles

.565 career slugging

.313 career batting average

383 career homeruns

1997 NL MVP

7 gold gloves

.988 career fielding percentage

hit 49 homers and while hitting .366 in 1997

topped .330 five times (.338, .379, .366 .363, .350)

member of 30,30 club

If Puckett and clemente are in the hall this guy will definitley be a HOF. What do you think?

Why are we afflicted with this plague? And what must we do to be rid of it?

Who is this Larry Walker you keep going on about? I knew a Larry Welker in High School, is that who you are referring to?

i support closing the hall of fame altogether. these new players couldn't hold rabbitt maranaville's jockstrap.

If you have to compare a player to players that are in the Hall then he should not get in. Larry Walker belongs in the Hall of Fame about as much as Rolo Tomassi.

General statement to the forum.
Please stop asking if you favorite player belongs in the Hall of Fame. They don't belong, it is already over crowded with stiffs and we don't need any more jackasses slowing me down on the way to see Ted Williams carbonite frozen body on future trips.

He's a future hall of famer in my book any day... + I'm a Cubs fan, he's a cardinal so he is obviously not even close to my top 500 favorite players

but if everybody thinks there is like a 0% of him in cooperstown I'm just curious, why would be baseballreference.com give him an 147 on the hall of fame meter where 100 is the HOF mark?

We should let him in. Then we should burn it down.

sadly, yes. it's in st mary's, ontario which i know solely because my university roommate is from there. there is a weird combination of canadian ballplayers, american players who were on canadian teams and people who have some incredibly tenuous ties to canadian baseball. like sparky anderson. terry puhl is in the canadian hall. it is a silly place.
