He and Dale Murphy were two of the scariest hitters in the heart of any National League lineup from the late 1970s to mid-80s. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a whole lot surrounding them during those years.Why look at Horner now? Recently, as part of a series I do at NCAA.com looking back at program’s all-time starting nine’s, it was Arizona State’s turn. The numbers Horner put up at Arizona State were insane and made me dive down the old Baseball Reference rabbit hole and look at some of his pro numbers. Injury, and that pesky lawsuit, marred the career of what could have been one of the greatest Braves sluggers in recent history.So, 40 years after he played in his first full season (kind of, but we’ll get to that in a bit), let’s take a look back at some of the more remarkable numbers in Horner’s curious career.58Total home runs Horner finished with in three years at Arizona State. That was the NCAA record at the time. The Sun Devils reached Omaha and the College World Series in all three seasons Horner was there, and he earned Most Outstanding Player honors in the 1977 national title run. None of that compared to his 1978 season, when he hit .412 with 25 home runs, 100 RBI and 81 runs scored...in 60 games. Think about that. Horner earned the first-ever Golden Spikes Award amongst a slew of other honors in leaving college baseball as one of its greatest all-time players.1Horner was the first overall pick in the 1978 MLB Draft. His Sun Devils’ teammate Hubie Brooks was drafted two picks later, but took a bit longer to reach the big leagues than Horner. 0Zero isn’t the number you often see on a list of remarkable stats, but it sure is for Horner. That’s the total innings of minor league baseball Horner played after being drafted by the Braves in 1978. That’s how amazing Horner was coming out of Arizona State.Despite all his injuries, he also never rehabbed a game in the minors. Amid an early season slump in 1980, Ted Turner suggested sending him down to Triple-A to which Horner responded by (in)famously calling Turner a jerk.June 16, 1978Horner’s first game in the big leagues after being drafted just eight days earlier. The then-third baseman went 1-for-3, slugging a home run off of Bert Blyleven. 23He hit 22 more home runs after taking the future Hall of Famer yard in his MLB debut. As a 20-year-old he tied first baseman Dale Murphy and left fielder Jeff Burroughs for the team lead. Horner won the NL Rookie of the Year Award in just 89 games http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , culminating arguably the single greatest amateur-pro year in the history of sports.On September 23 of that season, Horner hit his 22nd home run of the season in an 8-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Glenn Hubbard also went yard for his first career home run. Both Horner and Hubbard were 20, a record that would stand for 40 years.3Horner is one of three Braves to have hit 20 (or more) home runs before his 21st birthday. Eddie Matthews and Ronald Acu帽a, Jr. are the others. That’s not bad company at all.19Horner had 19 multi-home run games before his 25th birthday. The others to accomplish the same feat? Jimmie Foxx, Willie Mays, and Alex Rodriguez. 146Ok, that’s not a Horner number alone, but he certainly helped. Atlanta had the youngest lineup in the National League in 1982 (an average of 27.0 years) and behind Murphy’s 36 home runs and Horner’s 32, the young Braves led the NL in home runs with 146 in capturing their first NL West title since 1969. 4This is the number people most remember about Horner. On July 6, 1986, Horner went 4-for-5 against the Montreal Expos. All four hits were home runs. The Braves lost that game 11-8, making him just the second player in MLB history to lose a game after hitting four home runs. 141The most games Horner ever played in a single season in his career. In 1979 he slugged 33 home runs and finished fourth in the National League while playing just 121 games. The following season he had his career-best of 35 homers finishing second while playing in just 124 games. He was red-hot in both the 1983 and 1984 seasons — the ‘83 season in particular was shaping up to be a career-year with a career-best 25 doubles, 20 home runs and a .303/.383/.528 slash line an .911 OPS in just 104 games — when the same broken wrist ended both seasons early. We will forever wonder what could have been if Horner was healthy..329/.398/.605That was Horner’s slash line in the 450-plus games the Braves won with him in the lineup during his career. He hit 130 of his 218 career home runs and boasted a 1.004 OPS as opposed to a .683 OPS in the (roughly) 500 losses. 50Horner’s number with Yakult Swallows, rumored to be given to him because that was the number of home runs they expected him to hit. Horner became a free agent in 1987 (and won a lawsuit when it was deemed that the owners were not offering some of the game’s stars fair salaries, or in Horner’s case, any at all) and headed to Japan for his age-29 season. He didn’t reach the 50 mark, but had a heck of a season, slashing .327/.423/.683 with 31 home runs in 355 plate appearances.210Home runs Horner hit before hitting his first career grand slam in 1986 Dustin Pedroia Jersey , a record at the time. Obviously, that’s not so much his fault. Horner actually hit .308 in his career in 101 plate appearances with the bases loaded, driving in 71. He simply never left the yard until his final full season. .977Career fielding percentage for Horner. He played 684 career games at third, making 97 errors, and 330 at first, where he made 20.June 18, 1988Nearly ten years to the date of his improbable MLB debut, Horner, who had returned stateside with the Cardinals, finally hangs it up. Injuries had done him in, and Horner’s final “season” saw him play in only 60 games. He had one at bat on his final day in an MLB uniform, and he made it count, driving in a run on his 169th career double.Maybe the wins weren’t there. Maybe the career wasn’t long enough. But Horner’s career will always be one of the biggest what-ifs in MLB history. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mike Zunino’s first home run for the Tampa Bay Rays was one to remember.The veteran catcher was reinstated from the paternity list, three days after the birth of his first child, and hit a two-run shot that helped the AL East leaders stop a season-high four-game skid with a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.“Man, I didn’t promise that, but I’ll definitely take it Babe Ruth Jersey ,” Zunino said. “You know, that was a very special moment in life and my baseball career. It’s something I’ll never forget.”Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe and Daniel Robertson also drove in runs for the Rays, who scored three times in the seventh to come from behind against Brad Keller (2-2).It’s the ninth time this season the Royals, who have the AL’s worst record, have lost after holding a lead in the sixth inning or later.“That’s a pesky offensive outfit over there. They give you good at-bats,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “But going into the seventh, we had the lead. We just couldn’t hold it.”Pitching while appealing a five-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing fracas with the Chicago White Sox last week, Keller held the Rays in check until giving up Robertson’s tying RBI grounder and Zunino’s homer to straight away center in the seventh.Zunino, obtained from Seattle in an offseason trade, missed three games while on the paternity list for the birth of his son, Rhett Michael, last Friday.“That’s got to be pretty special. I’m a big fan of Rhett Zunino right now. That’s something he’s going to be able to talk about for a long time. Awesome,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “The way it came, and how big a hit it was at the time is even more impactful.”The Rays, coming off being swept by the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox over the weekend, are 4-5 over their last nine games following an 11-3 start.“We had a tough weekend and things were not looking good up until the sixth,” Cash said. “The guys really did a good job of just grinding out at-bats. We smoked some balls early on but had absolutely nothing to show for it http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , and that can be pretty demoralizing. … But they kept at it and keep putting pressure on, and finally something broke.”Keller allowed five runs and seven hits over 6 1/3 innings in his first outing since hitting Chicago’s Tim Anderson with a pitch two innings after the AL’s leading hitter emphatically spiked his bat to celebrate a homer, sparking last Wednesday’s melee that led to his suspension.“I felt really good for the first six and I felt good going out for the seventh,” Keller said, adding that ultimately he left too many pitches over the middle of the plate.Alex Gordon, Hunter Dozier and Jorge Soler hit solo homers for the Royals, who have lost four straight.Gordon and Dozier went deep for the second straight game, with Gordon connecting off Rays starter Yonny Chirinos in the first inning and Dozier giving the Royals a 3-1 lead in the sixth. Soler’s solo shot snapped a fifth-inning tie.Wilmer Font (1-0) struck out the only batter he faced to get the win. Emilio Pagan pitched a perfect ninth for his first career save.TRAINER’S ROOMRoyals: Dozier, who started at designated hitter, was removed from the game in the eighth inning because of right lower back spasms and soreness and is day to day. … LHP Danny Duffy (left shoulder impingement syndrome) is expected to rejoin the rotation Friday night. “He’s been one of our better starters over the last couple years, and when he’s healthy we know what type of pitcher he is,” Yost said.Rays: RF Austin Meadows, who’s on the injured list with a sprained right thumb, will be shut down for 10 days and hopes he will be ready to return in three to four weeks. “Let the swelling go down and after that see where we’re at,” Meadows said.ON THE MENDRays LHP Blake Snell (fractured right fourth toe) had a light mound session totaling eight pitches in advance of an upcoming full bullpen. The 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner did not take part in defensive drills with the other pitchers. Snell was hurt moving a decorative stand in the bathroom of his home on April 14.UP NEXTRoyals RHP Homer Bailey (2-1, 4.30 ERA) will start the middle date of a three-game series. Opener Ryne Stanek (0-0, 1.46) will take the mound first for the Rays.
