The lefthanded-hitting Walker batted better than .300 in six of his ten full major
league seasons. In 1922 he reached a career-high .337, leading the Phillies in six
offensive categories. He was speedy enough to stretch doubles into triples, hitting
117 lifetime and 2 in one inning with the Reds on July 22, 1926. He was called Honey
because he hailed from Beeville, Texas, and became
known as Judge Walker after being
elected Justice of the Peace.
