LOS ANGELES – Years from now, fans will be able to say they saw Babe Ruth play at Dodger Stadium. It’s just that he was wearing No. 53 for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
But Walker’s Ruthian exploits at Dodger Stadium are not just a brief residency. He seems to have a mortgage on the place. Walker is a potential free agent this winter – a free agency Dodgers fans might want to track as zealously as Shohei Ohtani’s “flight” to Toronto last winter in hopes that Walker signs with a team that makes less frequent visits to Los Angeles.
