Colorado Rockies, this is the season to retire Larry Walker’s number

As Larry Walker enters into his 10th and final season of eligibility for the Baseball Hall of Fame from the BBWAA (and why has it taken this long for Walker to enter into Cooperstown other than “Coors?” and some injuries during his career), the Colorado Rockies could certainly extend a well-deserved honor to him by retiring #33.

Only one Rockies player has ever had his jersey retired: Todd Helton. While Helton spent his entire career in a Colorado uniform, Walker did not have that luxury, spending 10 of his 17 seasons in the Mountain time zone.
