Walker Retires

Another casualty of last night’s defeat.

St. Louis Cardinals:

ST. LOUIS — This wasn’t the bookend Larry Walker wanted to put on his baseball career, not from a team standpoint and not from a personal standpoint.

But when the Cardinals saw their season end with a Game 6 loss to Houston, the 38-year-old right fielder knew his career of 17-plus years was over.

Thanks, Larry.
