 | Monday, August 18th, 1969: IL Star of the Week Honored
So far in his young career, Tony Horton has kept a low profile, but after his performance at the plate last week, he attracted the notice of the rest of the International League in a big way as he was named the Player of the Week today for his efforts.
The 23-year-old Twin Cities Trappers first baseman hit at a torrid .448 clip as he collected 13 hits in 29 at-bats, 1 home run, 7 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
Horton is presently batting .297 with 34 home runs, 127 runs scored and 141 RBIs. His OBP is .329.
