Summary
Atlanta Braves great Bob Horner has died at the age of 68. He was a National League Rookie of the Year in 1978 and made his first and only All-Star team in 1982. Horner played nine of his 10 years in the big leagues with the Braves, spending his final year with the St. Louis Cardinals. He played in 1,020 games, hit 218 home runs, and never struck out more than 75 times in a single season.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script. Horner’s career was marked by firsts, from being the first overall pick to hitting four home runs in a single game. He and Dale Murphy formed a powerful duo, but injuries and a slow start to his career might have limited his impact. Despite this, Horner left an indelible mark on the Braves organization.
