'83-'84 Off-Season

12/26/1983 - Houston Locks Up Horner

Team officials triumphantly announced that the Astros and superstar second baseman Bob Horner have closed a deal that keeps the 26-year-old in a Houston uniform for another 5 years. Horner will earn $4,900,000 as part of the settlement. In his career Horner has played in 943 games with a .272 batting average. Among his 995 hits are 157 doubles, 6 triples and 167 home runs. He also has scored 489 runs and driven in 590 runs. Happy belated Xmas to Astro fans!
