Larry Walker Believed He’d ‘Come Up A Little Short’ In HOF Voting

If anyone was convinced Larry Walker wasn’t going to get inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, it was Larry Walker.

The former Canadian player spent 17 years in Major League Baseball between the then-Montreal Expos, Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals. Walker amassed 2,160 hits, 383 home runs and was a career .313 hitter and in his last year of eligibility to reach Cooperstown.

And prior to Tuesday’s announcement, he took to Twitter to tell his fans he’s “grateful” for them “showing support.” Walker also though he would not be a Hall of Famer.
