Bob Horner Braves Legend Remembered
Description
Baseball lost a true legend this week: Bob Horner, the Braves’ 1978 No. 1 draft pick, died at 68. He blasted into the majors straight from college, crushing 23 homers in just 89 games as a rookie — earning ROY honors. A feared hitter, he made All-Star teams, drew MVP votes, and famously smashed four homers in one game (a rare feat). Alongside Dale Murphy, he helped turn the Braves into a powerhouse. Later, owner collusion hurt his earnings, leading him to play overseas before returning to the Cardinals — where he retired in 1989 due to injuries. His legacy? Unforgettable. He set records, broke barriers, and left an indelible mark on Braves history — survived by his wife and two sons.
