Larry Walker’s unlikely path to Hall of Fame election has turned possible

Larry Walker will be a Hall of Famer. I’m not just hopeful about that, but convinced of it. He has the credentials, compares favorably to right fielders already in the Hall, and a growing cadre of writers are coming to terms with the fact that baseball in Denver is a real thing. Up until recently, I’ve also been convinced that Walker’s only path to enshrinement will be through the Today’s Game Era ballot — even more so after it lowered the bar by electing Harold Baines, who had a fine career but who few seriously considered a viable candidate.
