Neil Walker

@PaulMayne6 True story…and on 9-17-2014 I was also fortunate to hit my 21st home run off Clay Buchholz of the Red Sox on Clemente Day at PNC Park just over the 21 foot Clemente Wall..think about that for a minute..Clemente had his hand on my (and my father’s) shoulder for most of my life…

In 1972, while playing winter ball in Puerto Rico, Tom Walker helped Roberto Clemente load a plane carrying relief supplies to survivors of the Nicaragua earthquake. He offered to accompany Clemente on the trip but the plane was full and Clemente told him to stay behind … 😮😞

Ready® was proud to be an official partner of the WPIAL Showcase. Events like these are about more than competition. They provide athletes with opportunities to be seen, continue developing their skills, and build confidence that will serve them both on and off the field. At Ready®, we believe investing in young athletes today helps shape the leaders of tomorrow. Proud to support student-athletes across Western Pennsylvania. @LanistaSports @KurtaEli @MaysonMitchell0 @NeilWalker18 @DICKS

@manbearwolf @Cubs Really cool stuff Bake thanks for sharing. Undoubtedly a day I will never forget. “The Great One’s” presence always seems to be near every day I got to wear that Bucco Uniform.

The poll indicated that what people want to hear about is baseball - given it is #OpeningDay in the MLB a brief thread about my favorite opening day. 2014 as a member of the @Cubs

@hogrmike53 You’re welcome Mike!! Go Bucs!

@NeilWalker18 @Pirates Thanks for the photo shot today with my grandson and granddaughter at the airport 02/28/2026, my daughter and her family are coming back up to Pittsburgh/home from a birthday break and even saw the Buccos win over the twins , good job up in the box, we all loved Maz .LETS GO BUCS

It is with a heavy heart that we relay the news of the passing of legendary Pirates and National Baseball Hall of Famer, Bill Mazeroski. Maz was a 7-time All-Star who hit the greatest home run in baseball history. He was a beloved member of the Pirates family and he will be deeply missed.

@colin_dunlap Rest in peace Maz ❤️

RIP Bill Mazeroski. Easy to think of HR he hit in ‘60 or how great he was with glove. My memory? 2011 Spring Training, Maz was up at dawn each day helping Neil Walker transition to playing 2B - out on the field, showing footwork. The two formed an incredible, genuine bond. RIP.

@colin_dunlap Facts, Jimmy G was a dawg…

At Peters Township. Know who always get overlooked in discussions of great WPIAL athletes —Jimmy Gallagher. He was fantastic here. Incredible QB and baseball player and blocked in AAA by Adam Dunn and Alex Rios when White Sox were legit. Great pure athlete.

@JustinBenson13 @joe_block Merry Christmas Justin, go Bucs!

@joe_block Great, he needs 24 to beat the most overrated player in Pirates history.

Most Home Runs in a Season - Pirates Second Basemen 23 - Neil Walker, 2014 19 - Bill Mazeroski, 1958 18 - George Grantham, 1930 Newly-acquired Brandon Lowe hit 31 HR last season

@KnoxvilleKC Wait what’s a crack analyst KC? You obviously don’t listen close enough I questioned why G Cabrera didn’t come into the game last night when the pinch hit 2 run home run happened. Are you suggesting I shouldn’t have this job because DK is the manager?

@Jason_Shetler Don’t worry. I’m sure crack analyst @NeilWalker18 will have a stern take on some of the managers decisions…oh wait….the manager is his brother-in-law! #conflictofinterest @gbrowniepoints @mearshannah_ @theFortMcKenry @SquidBrault

I guess it’s easy to sit back & be an armchair quarterback, but why was Thomas Harrington, a rookie that hasn’t been effective at AAA this year, left in for as long as he was, when he clearly was getting knocked around like a piñata? #Pirates

@albanian_angry @Mets Thanks Andy! Good to see you!!! I’m sure the Mets will right the ship soon too! Have a great rest of your summer!

Mr. Walker @NeilWalker18 I’m a couple of days late, but I want to take a minute and thank you for all you did for me on Saturday. It was a honor meeting you. You are a true gentleman and one of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Enjoyed your time w/ @Mets #LGM

@bm1975 You do understand what I mean when I say skill set right? I’m not comparing the two by a numbers standpoint whatsoever, I’m saying size, arm strength, power, etc…

No @NeilWalker18 O’Neil Cruz doesn’t have a skill set similar to Dave Parker, not even close

@thewpga @usopengolf Awesome!! Can’t wait to watch this US Open!

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝. 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 #𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐟. @NeilWalker18 sets the table for our national championship. 🏆
