Willie Horton days

It’s Willie Horton days until Opening Day.




No, not that Willie Horton. William Wattison Horton hit 325 home runs, mostly for the Tigers. He got on base in nearly half of his 23 at-bats during the 1968 World Series as his Tigers beat St. Louis.

Willie has exactly as many siblings (20) as career stolen bases.

Willie was born in Arno, VA. He hit more home runs than anyone else born in Virginia (David Wright is second with 204).
