Description
Everyone loved Bucky Walters, pre WWII Most Valuable Player, this is a note he wrote to our consigner's father in 1965, from Glanside Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. His illustrious career included many wins. Walters started his career as a third baseman for the Boston Braves in 1931. After two seasons, he hit .376 in the Pacific Coast League to earn a shot with the Boston Red Sox in 1933. When he was purchased by the Philadelphia Phillies from the Red Sox in the 1934 midseason, he converted to pitching. Walters developed as a sinker-ball specialist, and after winning 14 games and led the National League with 34 starts in 1937, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in the 1938 midseason. From 1939 to 1940, Walters helped the Reds to win two straight pennants, leading in each season the NL pitchers in wins. His best season came in 1939, when he won the Triple Crown with 27 victories. internal code cnx 884
