Bill Walker from the Chronology

Aug 6, 1936 - The Reds trade P Si Johnson to the Cardinals for Bill Walker. Johnson was 46-86 in Cincinnati.

Sep 4, 1935 - The Cards score 4 in the 8th‚ then Dizzy Dean picks up a save in the 9th to beat the Braves‚ 5-3. Jess Haines‚ who fails for the 11th time to win his 200th game‚ is lifted after 7 for Bill Walker who promptly tees up Wally Berger's 30th homer of the year. Walker gives up two hits but is the winning pitcher.

Jul 8, 1935 - The AL continues its All-Star Game reign‚ winning the 3rd event‚ at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium‚ 4-1. Jimmie Foxx is the hitting star with a homer and 3 RBI. Lefty Gomez goes six innings for the win‚ while Bill Walker takes the loss.

Jul 31, 1934 - When the Cards and the Cubs resume playing the protested game of July 2 at Wrigley Field‚ Chicago still wins. The final score this time is 7-1 instead of 7-4‚ with Lon Warneke winning over Bill Walker. Warneke allows one hit in 2 innings‚ then continues in the 2nd game‚ winning that as well‚ 7-2. Paul Dean takes the loss. The outcome of the replay does not change the standings since the Cubs win has already been entered into the official standings‚ but the individual performances in the replay replace those in the original game.

May 8, 1934 - Cardinal P Bill Walker has his arm broken by a batting practice smash by Joe Medwick.

Aug 5, 1932 - At the Polo Grounds‚ the Giants beat the Cards‚ 6-2‚ behind Bill Walker's 2-hitter. Both hits are 5th inning homers-by Ray Blades and Jimmy Wilson.

Apr 12, 1932 - In the Opener at the Polo Grounds‚ the Phils chase Bill Walker in the 2nd inning and rout the Giants‚ 13-5. Chuck Klein's bases-loaded triple is the capper in the 7-run outburst. Starter Fidgety Phil Collins goes all the way for Philadelphia and is 4-for-4 at the plate.

Jul 18, 1931 - John McGraw is ejected from a game in St. Louis after he rages over an out call by Bob Clarke on the Giants Chick Fullis. Behind Bill Walker‚ the Giants win 4-0. A telegram McGraw receives before the next game causes another tantrum‚ as NL president Heydler fines him $150 and suspends him for 3 days‚ his first suspension since 1921. Dave Bancroft will fill in.

May 26, 1931 - The Giants whitewash the Braves twice‚ beating Boston 6-0 and 3-0. Carl Hubbell pitches the nitecap following lefty Bill Walker's win in the opener.
