On Tuesday, Colorado governor Jared Polis announced that January 27-31 would be known as “Larry Walker Week” in the state of Colorado. The honor follows the announcement that Walker will become the first Rockies players to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in late July.
In a tweet, Polis also gave credit to members of Colorado’s House and Senate for coming together on the creation of “Larry Walker Week.”
Special hat tip to the Colorado State House and State Senate who adopted a tribute to honor Larry Walker, led by Representatives @Kyle_Mullica and @RepKVW and Senator @FaithWinterCO and @SenDennisHisey today.
