The following links omit certain types of material: forum posts; letters or reply posts to articles; and pages that merely summarize or point to other pages having actual content.
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.
