About Willie Horton
Horton hit .275 with 25 home runs and 92 RBI in 159 games for the 1975 Tigers. Manager Ralph Houk used him exclusively as designated hitter, and he received the American League's Outstanding Designated Hitter award. His 1976 Topps card was #320. He began the season with a $105,000 contract.
Willie Horton grew up in Detroit and signed with the Tigers out of Northwestern High School in 1961. His nickname, Willie the Wonder, dated to his high school years, when he homered at Tiger Stadium in the city championship game. He reached the majors in 1963 and spent parts of fifteen seasons with Detroit before playing for five other American League clubs. A four-time All-Star, Horton finished his eighteen-season major league career with 1,993 hits and 325 home runs. He drove in 1,163 runs and batted .273. He later coached for the Yankees and White Sox. In 2000 the Tigers retired his number 23 and dedicated a statue of him at Comerica Park.
