Larry Walker Statue Unveiled | Colorado Rockies News

The Colorado Rockies honored baseball legend Larry Walker with a statue unveiled at home plate, just before their Sunday game — eight months after first announcing the tribute during Rockies Fest. Walker, who played 10 stellar seasons with the team from 1995, remains the franchise’s all-time leader in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, plus he won an MVP and three batting titles. Beyond stats, he was instrumental in launching the Rockies into the postseason and earned five All-Star nods and seven Gold Gloves. The statue, crafted by George and Mark Lundeen, was gifted to the first 15,000 fans — a perfect nod to a player who defined the Rockies’ golden era. And it’s not over yet: Hall of Famer Todd Helton’s statue is set to debut next Saturday, September 19th, as the Rockies continue celebrating their greatest icons.
