In less than a week, Larry Walker will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Then the former Rockies outfielder will finally be able to sleep in peace.
“The speech was done all by myself,” Walker said Thursday afternoon during a national Zoom call. “Everything I’ll be saying came from me, and from many sleepless nights when I would jot on my phone at three in the morning with all the thoughts going through my head.”
On Wednesday, Walker, 54, will become the first Rockies player to be inducted into baseball’s hallowed halls.
