Larry Walker’s Baseball Hall of Fame induction moved to Sept. 8

The Rockies’ Larry Walker will get his moment in the sun. It’s just been delayed again.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that the class of 2020 will now be inducted on Sept. 8 in an outdoor ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y.

The induction ceremony had been scheduled for July 25 as an indoor, television event without crowds. The new ceremony will take place in front of a limited crowd as coronavirus restrictions ease.

Walker, the first Rockies player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, will be honored along with Derek Jeter, Marvin Miller and Ted Simmons.
