Baseball Hall of Fame: Larry Walker is headed to Cooperstown

Heading into Tuesday evenings unveiling of the results of the 2020 BBWAA voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame, two things were certain. Derek Jeter was going to get in, perhaps even unanimously, and Larry Walker was the only other player who had a chance. But the margin between Larry getting in and not getting in was razor-thin, especially after several ballots released on Monday revealed that they had dropped Walker after voting for him in previous years.

Those fears were put to rest on Tuesday evening, as Larry Walker becomes the first Rockies player to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
