Remember Atlanta Braves slugger Bob Horner? 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.
