"You don't ever forget your first game [box] in the big leagues. I got a hit off Giants' Mike LaCoss and walked three times. I walked over to first base after my third walk and Will Clark says to me, 'It's your first game in the big leagues and they're pitching you like you're Babe Ruth.' " - Walker, Larry.

Larry Kenneth Robert Walker was a Major League Baseball player with the Montreal Expos (1989-1994), Colorado Rockies (1995-2004), and St. Louis Cardinals (2004-2005). Did you know that Larry might be the only ballplayer to appear in a perfect game, as the Montreal Expos starting first baseman, behind teammate Dennis Martinez versus the Dodgers on July 28, 1991, and also bowl a perfect game on April 10, 2014 (see his tweet below)?
I must share with all. Bowl in a league and tonight got my first perfect game!! 300! Never thought possible. #baskinginmyglory

Larry Walker first became eligible for election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011. His name appeared on 20.3% of the ballots, climbed initially the following year, went down two years, then steadily climbed for the next seven years, until he was (finally) sent to Cooperstown in 2020. Denver Post staff Writer Patrick Saunders voted for Booger all ten years and wrote back on the initial election year that, "Walker truly was a natural—an instinctive five-tool player who starred for the Expos, Rockies and Cardinals. He was a five-time all-star, a seven-time Gold Glove winner in right field and won three batting titles. In 1997, when he was the National League MVP with the Rockies, he batted .366, hit 49 home runs and stole 33 bases. His 409 total bases that season were the most by a big-leaguer since Stan Musial's 429 in 1948." A few additional numbers of interest appear below his Hall of Fame plaque:

Larry Walker | National Baseball Hall of Fame Plaque | Class of 2020 (HOF)
1: Larry Walker had one 200-hit season (1997), where he also won his one home run championship, and his one Most Valuable Player Award — the first ever Canadian-born MVP recipient.
3: Larry Walker was a three-time batting champion, hitting .363 in 1998, .379 in 1999, and .350 in 2001. All three titles came while he was playing in Coors Field and Walker was the first Rockies' player to win twice and the first to win consecutive titles. Walker also won three Silver Slugger Awards, played for three different big league teams, only wore uniform number thirty-three, and was married on November 3, at 3:33 PM.
4: Larry Walker was the fourth (and final) player in Expos history to join the Silver & Gold Club, a year where the player receives both a Silver Slugger Award and Gold Glove Award.
7: Larry Walker won seven Gold Glove Awards in the outfield, two with the Montreal Expos, and five more with Colorado. Walker was the first Rockies outfielder to win a Gold Glove.
9: Larry Walker won nine Tip O'Neill Awards , an honor given annually to the Canadian baseball player who is "judged to have excelled in individual achievement and team contribution while adhering to the highest ideals of the game of baseball." No player has won it more often then The Canadian Clubber.
49: Larry Walker joined the 30 / 30 Club in 1997, the third player from the Colorado Rockies in the "club", joining Dante Bichette and Ellis Burks. His forty-nine home runs were the most hit in history by any 30 / 30 player to date!
