Add a signature from one of the Atlanta Braves' most memorable power hitters of the late 1970s and 1980s with this Bob Horner autographed 1980 Topps #108 Atlanta Braves baseball card, available from Under the Radar Sports Promotions.

Bob Horner burst onto the Major League scene in 1978 after being selected by the Atlanta Braves with the first overall pick in the MLB Draft. The former Arizona State University standout made the remarkable jump directly from college baseball to the Major Leagues without spending time in the minor leagues, immediately establishing himself as one of baseball's most exciting young sluggers.

Despite appearing in just 89 games during his debut season, Horner blasted 23 home runs and earned the 1978 National League Rookie of the Year Award. He followed that impressive performance with another strong season in 1979, hitting 33 home runs and driving in 98 runs, solidifying his reputation as one of the National League's premier young power hitters.

Horner became a cornerstone of Atlanta's lineup throughout the early 1980s, earning a National League All-Star selection in 1982 while helping the Braves capture the National League West Division championship. His ability to deliver towering home runs made him a favorite among Atlanta fans during an exciting period in franchise history.

On July 6, 1986, Horner accomplished one of baseball's rarest offensive feats by hitting four home runs in a single game against the Montreal Expos. He became just the 11th player in Major League history to accomplish the feat, further cementing his place in baseball history.

Horner finished his Major League career with 218 home runs, 685 RBIs, and a .277 batting average, spending nine seasons with the Atlanta Braves before concluding his MLB career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1988. He also played professionally in Japan with the Yakult Swallows during the 1987 season.

The 1980 Topps #108 card features Horner during the early stages of his successful Atlanta Braves career, following his impressive 1979 season. Its classic design, featuring colorful team banners and player position illustrations, makes it a recognizable collectible from one of Topps' popular vintage baseball card releases.

Signature obtained through a private signing conducted by Under the Radar Sports Promotions and guaranteed to pass any third-party authentication service.

This autographed Bob Horner card is an excellent addition to collections featuring Atlanta Braves stars, National League Rookie of the Year winners, memorable MLB power hitters, and signed vintage Topps baseball cards.
