COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Bucky Walters didn’t become a full-time big league pitcher until he was 27 years old. But he quickly made up for the lost time.
Now, Walters could take his place with baseball’s all-time greats at the Hall of Fame.
Walters (April 19, 1909-April 20, 1991) was an All-Star pitcher who played for the Boston Braves (1931-32, 1950), Boston Red Sox (1933-1934), Philadelphia Phillies (1934-1938) and Cincinnati Reds (1938-1948). Known for his durability and good hitting, Walters spent five years as an infielder before making the change to pitching.
