RUSSELL MARTIN CATCHING WALKER

Russell Martin (East York, ON) is closing in on legend Larry Walker (Maple Ridge, B.C.) for games played by a Canadian in the players. Walker played in 28 games with Colorado and St. Louis from 1995-2005. Prior to 2012 Martin has played in 24 games with the Dodgers and NY Yankees from 2006-2011.

However, Walker isn’t the all-time leader. The leader is James Tip O’Neill (Woodstock, ON) who played in 38 playoff games from 1885-1888 with the St. Louis Browns. All of the games for O’Neill were played in the World Series of his day.
