    Loved watching Bob Horner and the Braves in the 80's. They were on TV every night and it's hard not to root for that kind of familiarity. Horner's short, powerful batting stroke proved you didn't need to swing from the heals every time. Have a great weekend Steve!

    Enjoyed the spotlight on Bob Horner. He had a great run and looked like he was going to be an all time great the way he started at such a young age. I think he still signs TTM which is nice. Great shoutout for Adam, Steve.

    Big Bob Horner always went into my binder as a kid. The owners screwed him out of his prime years with collusion. He would have had 400 homers easily. Great spot light video Steve! Hopefully life slows down a bit for you. Take care my friend 👊⚾

    Bob Horner was one of the early stars I learned about when I got into card collecting. I pulled his 1980 out of pack back in the day. I like the Braves uniforms from that era.
    Adam is a great guy. Nice shout out!

    Thanks for sharing the cards and all the cool information on Horner. The number that stood out to me was 14 SBs over 10 years. I can just see him saying, "well I stole my base for the year, don't ask me to steal anymore" 😂. I always enjoy the spotlight videos Steve. Take care man and be well my friend.

    Nice shout out to Adam. Chipper Jones was fun to watch.
    I really appreciate the player spotlight. I have heard of Horner, I used to have one or two of his cards in the later '80's, but didn't know much about him, so it was nice to learn some more. Very impressive being average. I love the auto card. It looks great!

I remember the 83 Horner was a hot card for some reason in the late eighties. Probably because he retired. Super solid ball player and great athlete. The 83 Fleer is my favorite theres something about it. Good stuff bro.

    I remember Bob Horner being the big Cardinals off-season pick for the 89 season. I can't remember if they signed him as a free agent or if it was via trade, but I remember being super excited! I believe he got hurt and ended up retiring. The Cardinals had a really disappointing season.
