1977 Topps #660 Willie Horton
About Willie Horton
Willie Horton hit .262 with 14 home runs and 56 RBI in 114 games for Detroit in 1976, mostly at designated hitter. His 1977 Topps card, #660, shows him with the Tigers. Detroit had traded him to Texas for reliever Steve Foucault on April 12, 1977, after Steve Kemp took over left field and Rusty Staub the DH job.
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.
