Larry Walker’s Hall of Fame election looking like a very close call

Larry Walker’s numbers have been crunched and re-crunched. Arguments have been met with counterarguments.

By now, all the votes have been cast by eligible members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of American (BBWAA). All that’s left is the official announcement by the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Jan. 21. on who gets in.

Will Walker clear the magic 75% hurdle and become the first Rockies player inducted into Cooperstown’s hallowed halls?

“I’m not speaking to anybody about it now. I’m trying not to jinx myself,” the 53-year-old Walker joked.

Indications are that Walker will make a massive jump up this year and it’s going to be a very close vote.
