Walker Week's Top Player
Monday, April 22nd , 1946
Not every ball that came off Dixie Walker's bat last week was a line drive or a towering shot -- it just seemed that way to the teams that played the Philadelphia Phillies. For his exploits, Walker was named this week's NL Player of the Week award.

The Philadelphia right fielder put up 10 hits in 20 at-bats and 1 home run while hitting .500 with 4 RBIs and 6 runs scored.
