Walton to enter Washington State Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame

Monte Walton knows it’s going to be an emotional day Saturday, Nov. 14, at Safeco Field, when he’s inducted into the Washington State Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame — especially when they talk about his father, Mal.

While Walton was already inducted into the Centralia College Hall of Fame in March and the Washington State Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2012 and was the first recipient of the Washington State Dan White Assistant Coach of the Year baseball award, Saturday’s honor will be a little bit different.
