Larry Walker Statue Unveiled | MLB News

Larry Walker, the first Rockies player inducted into the Hall of Fame, got his very own 15-foot bronze statue unveiled at Coors Field — capturing that iconic walk-off homer against John Rocker in ’99, complete with his legendary “Turn Ahead the Clock” jersey. The crowd went wild, playing “Crazy Train,” and Walker choked up talking about his 88-year-old dad still umpiring youth games. With a .313 career average, 383 homers, and three batting titles, Walker’s legacy is now immortalized in metal — right alongside Todd Helton’s upcoming statue. Sculptors spent hours getting every detail perfect, even adding extra hair to match the 1999 look. Walker, who used to be all about speed, now stands frozen in time — a permanent tribute to his game-changing impact on baseball and Denver.
