During his MVP-winning season with the Colorado Rockies, Walker delivered one of the best seasons in history after hitting 49 home runs, with 130 RBIs, and a .366 batting average. He also managed to steal 33 bases, the most of his career. He remains the only Rockies player to win the MVP.

Walker, who retired in 2005, remains the Rockies' all-time leader in several categories, including batting average (.334), OPS (1.044), and offensive win percentage (.789).

In 2020, Walker received 307 votes on 397 ballots, becoming the second Canadian-born player in MLB history to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, joining pitcher Fergie Jenkins in Cooperstown.

Larry Walker and the power of 3

The British Columbia native has a fun and unique connection to the number three. His first baseball contract was with Montreal for $3 million. He and his wife married on the 3rd of November at 3:33pm. In 1997, he recorded the most career steals in a season at 33. If this all wasn't enough to make you believe in the power of three, Walker is the 333rd member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
