Obviously, I am biased, but Larry Walker deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Walker is currently in his seventh year on the ballot, after receiving 15.5% of votes last year (up from 11.8% in 2015). He rests well above the minimum vote percentage to stay on the ballot year to year (5%) but well below the amount needed for induction (75%). With recent modifications, he has only 10 years on the ballot as long as he stays above that 5% threshold.
First off, Walker’s statistics and accolades speak for themselves. He played 17 MLB seasons, 10 for Colorado after coming up with the Montreal Expos and playing north of the border for six years.
