He ended his playing career with the Braves in 1950.
From wikipedia - "Following his retirement as a player, Walters coached for the Braves and Giants through 1957. He was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1958."
Hope that helps
Jim

Vintage, I must be Blind, how come i can't find anything on him in the 55 Braves roster. Charlie grimm was the manager, but can't find anything on coaches!

could be that he was a roving minor league coach, or spring training coach.
