TORONTO – Imagine, for a moment, if Bob Strumm had said yes instead of no to Larry Walker.
The long-time hockey executive was the head coach and general manager for the Regina Pats in the mid-1980s when he first crossed paths with the newly minted baseball Hall of Famer.
At the time Walker was a big, aggressive goaltender who didn’t take kindly to anyone coming near him in the crease, and he twice earned invitations to training camp with the Western Hockey League club.
