Danny Walton has passed away per BB Ref.com today. Walton hit 3 HR for the Pilots in 1969 as prelude to his most productive MLB season as the star and main attraction at the plate (17 HR) of the 1970 Milwaukee Brewers. He hit 238 HR in MiLB ball with 9 double figure seasons, several in the 20's and a career high of 42 for Albuquerque. I believe he may have been TSN Minor League Player of the Year one season (will check and edit.)
