The Pirates are deeply saddened by the passing of Tom Walker. He passed back in October 2023.

Tom spent six seasons in the Major Leagues, making his debut with the Montreal Expos in 1972. He also pitched with the Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals and California Angels. Tom was signed by the Pirates as a free agent on January 6, 1978, and attended spring training camp with the Bucs in 1978 before retiring.

A long-time resident of Pittsburgh, Tom was a part of the Pirates local alumni group and was always looking to make an impact on others in the Pittsburgh community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Walker family, including his wife Carolyn, daughter Carrie, and sons Matt, Sean and Neil, in addition to his son-in-law Don Kelly and the Kelly family
