Edsall Elliott Walker (September 15, 1910 – February 19, 1997) was an American pitcher in Negro league baseball. He played for the Homestead Grays and Philadelphia Stars between 1936 and 1945.[1]
Walker grew up poor in Catskill, New York and had five older siblings. He played semi-professional football and baseball in the Hudson Valley before joining the Zulu Cannibal Giants. In 1936, he signed with the Homestead Grays for $150 per month . He was the starting pitcher for the East at the 1938 East–West All-Star Game. He took a year off from baseball in 1942 and worked at a Baltimore shipyard.[2] He retired from baseball in 1945 due to a sore arm and moved to Albany, New York. The baseball field at Albany's Bleecker Stadium was later named in his honor.[3]
