Bob Horner is a name familiar to long-time Braves fans. He was named NL Rookie of the Year in 1978 after hitting 23 home runs with 63 RBI. Although he was perhaps Atlanta's most prolific home run hitter during the 1980s, persistent injuries kept him from realizing his true potential. However, on this day in 1986, he etched his name into MLB's record books.
In the finale of a four-game series against the visiting Montreal Expos, the Braves were trying to salvage a split after winning the opener. The Expos started right-hander Andy McGaffigan, while the Braves tabbed Zane Smith.
