What a way to cap a glorious career — get elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s exactly what happened to pitching star, Walker Buehler. The Baseball Writers Association rewarded him for his sensational seasons on the mound and today he took his place among the baseball immortals.
Buehler told the audience at the ceremonies, “Baseball has been my life … and what a wonderful life it has been. The truth is I would have played it for almost nothing — but I wouldn’t have told any of the owners that.”
Buehler had a career record of 184 victories and 83 losses with 2783 strikeouts in 2394.1 innings and a 3.11 ERA. He was 37 when he retired from baseball, and he appeared in 392 games.
