“Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth,
and every other man has a right to knock him down for it.”
– Boswell’s

Samuel Johnson
Linked pages that “cite” Eric Walker make some mention of him—which may be minor or substantial—in a baseball context, but are not chiefly about him or his work, whereas those “about” him give substantial focus to him or his work. The linked pages are not (yet) arranged in any particular order within category.
