Personal Remembrance

Chris Walsh was an outfielder / first baseman for the Class D Oshkosh Giants of the Wisconsin State League. Chris was somewhat above average height for that time, and of a slender rather wiry build. He had black hair. I believe his home state was New Jersey. He may have been left-handed in both throwing and hitting, but I am not certain. Chris played with the Giants for about 4 or 5 weeks, and then was either re-assigned by the Giants to another team, or released. I am not sure if this was his rookie year, or if he had played pro ball previously.
