An MVP award, a five-time All-Star, a seven-time Gold Glove Winner, a three-time Gold Glove winner, three-time batting champion, and a three-time Silver Slugger Winner. All describe former Colorado Rockies outfielder Larry Walker. However, in eight trips to the Hall of Fame ballot, Walker has never received more than 34.1 percent on it, and that happened this year.
Other players like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and (in 2017) Manny Ramirez have all done much better on the Hall of Fame ballot as, in the case of Bonds and Clemens, are creeping close to 60 percent of the vote.
