He still hit over .300 away over 6 years of his career, including .346 and 29 homers on the road in 1997. I'm not a Walker fan boy by any means, but he was impressive for a short while. Keep in mind, many HOFers hit for 50 less BA points on the road, regardless where they played. Take Wade Boggs or Jim Rice for example.
