Bob Horner #50T

 


This week, a Golden Spikes winner, #1 pick, all star, NPB slugger Bob Horner! Bob had an amazing home run rate with Atlanta and could have been a 500 Home Run hitter if not for injuries. His first 3 seasons he averaged 44 homers per 162 games, unfortunately he never came close to playing 162 games. He had the potential to be an all time great...but injuries and collusion forced him to NPB at 28. He was a star in one season for the Yakult Swallows hitting .327 with 31 homers. He returned briefly to MLB for this card!
