Neil Walker (baseball)
Neil Martin Andrew Walker (born September 10, 1985), nicknamed the "Pittsburgh Kid", "Hometown Kid" or "The Real Deal", is an American professional baseball second baseman with the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball. He was drafted by his hometown Pirates in the first round of the 2004 MLB Draft. He stands 6'3" and weighs 210 lbs.
==Early life==
Walker, the son of former major league pitcher Tom Walker (1972–77),〔(Pirates.com bio )〕 was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and attended Pine-Richland High School. He graduated in 2004. He played catcher on the baseball team and a wide receiver for the football team. Walker, who also played on the Rams' basketball team until his senior year, was a two-time ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'' Male Athlete of the Year. His baseball jersey, #24, was retired from Pine-Richland during a pre-game ceremony before the Pittsburgh Pirates' July 22, 2010 game.〔(Pittsburgh Post-Gazette )〕
Neil grew up as a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and attended many of the team's games while sitting in the "Peanut Heaven" section of Three Rivers Stadium. In 1994, he attended the All-Star Game, where he obtained the signatures of Ken Griffey, Jr. and Frank Thomas. To this day, those signed baseballs are among his most prized baseball possessions. Prior to being drafted by the Pirates, Walker approached the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State about doubling in baseball and football; however, he passed on those options out of concern that Penn State wanted him to add 60 pounds and become a tight end.
