Meeting Wally Joyner

Wally was a fan favorite during his playing days most notably with the California/Anaheim Angels and was nicknamed “Wally World.” He was a rookie sensation in 1986 and came in second place in the Rookie of the Year voting.

Wally is one of Dr. Liu’s favorite baseball players of all-time. It was nice having him at the office.
