Episode Details

Atlanta mourns the loss of Bob Horner, the Braves’ legendary slugger who died at 68, leaving behind a legacy as a franchise cornerstone and symbol of power during the team’s golden era. Drafted first overall in 1978, he skipped the minors and exploded onto the scene with 23 homers in just 89 games as a rookie, earning Rookie of the Year. Over his 10-year career, he smashed 218 homers and 685 RBIs, forming a fearsome duo with Dale Murphy in the early 80s. His unforgettable four-homer game on July 6, 1986, remains one of baseball’s most iconic feats. An All-Star in 1982 and multiple MVP vote-getter, Horner was more than a player—he was a beacon of hope for Braves fans through tough times, embodying grit and greatness.
