Tilly Walker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clarence William "Tilly" Walker (September 4, 1887 - September 20, 1959) was an American left and center fielder in Major League Baseball from 1911-1923. Born in Telford, Tennessee, Walker hit a respectable .281, but he was one of the first true power hitters, slugging 17 home runs in 1920, 23 in 1921, and 37 (with a great .549 slugging percentage and a .283 batting average) in 1922. For a time he was among the top ten lifetime home run leaders, but faded into obscurity. He died at age 72 in Unicoi, Tennessee.
