If you have been searching for the most sensical and complete explanation as to why Larry Walker is deserving of a spot in the Hall of Fame, this is it. In this article, Adam Darowski breaks down the Hall and reimagines it according to the Hall of Stats — a site and process that presents the top 215 players in the history of the game.
Darowski examines in great detail the Hall of Fame cases for Walker, along with Jeff Bagwell, Curt Schilling and others. Darowski uses the comparable career stats of Al Simmons to demonstrate Walker’s eligibility, but according to the formula used by Hall of Stats, Walker’s 61st overall far exceeds even Simmons’s 98th.
