Comments |
Walton wore number 22 for the Cubs from 1989-92, number 22 for the Angels in 1993, number 19 for the Reds from 1994-95, number 19 for the Braves in 1996, number 1 for the Orioles in 1997, and number 27 for the Devil Rays in 1998. The knob is blanked out, indicating that there may have been a number there previoulsy, possibly blanked out due to wearing different numbers for different teams.
