Default 1940 Bucky Walters

Could have posted this grouping as a December pickup, but it probably better belongs here. Have been after it for a while. In my estimation, Walters is the best starting pitcher in Reds history, especially considering he did not take to the mound until his late 20s (27 I think). Although Bucky won the NL MVP award in 1939, I think 1940 was the better season based on the differences in his World Series efforts (1939 0-2 vs 1940 2-0).

The photo is a Type I Sporting News file photo. If I can find the right material, I will probably restore the Hershberger arm band.
