Re: Larry Walker HOF

To those who vote 'no' to Walker: does Helton deserve it?

If not... are we going to simply exclude anyone who plays the majority of their career in Colorado? What will it take for a life long Rockie to get over the Coors hump?

Walker's career WAR puts him around 70th all-time, above the likes of Willie Stargell, Duke Snider, Johnny Mize, Yogi Berra, Jim Thome, Tony Gwynn, Mike Piazza, Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin...

I'm not stating a definitive 'yes' for Walker (I can see both sides of the debate), but every time I see his name discussed, the fall-back is always some variation of "Coors, so no." I don't buy that.
