Will Larry Walker be elected into the Hall of Fame?

In Larry Walker’s final year on the ballot it seems like things will be very close. I don’t think we’ll know the final answer until January 21st when the votes are revealed by the Baseball Writers’ Association of American (BBWAA). Walker needs 75% of the vote to make the cut and currently multiple projections place him somewhere between 74% and 76%. Ryan Thibodaux, who runs the Baseball Hall of Fame Vote Tracker says that it will be a close one.

Last year, his vote total jumped from 20.5% to 54.6%. He needs another 20.4% increase this year to gain the necessary 75%.
