Horner Wins Arbitration But Strains Face Revealed
Atlanta Braves star Bob Horner, 21, called the arbitration ruling a win though his face showed the strain of the six months of anticipation. The arbitrator denied free agency but ordered about 146000 in 1979 pay, a decision Atlanta view as a major win for keeping their No. 1 draft pick. Horner, NL Rookie of the Year, spoke of mixed feelings and resolve to move forward. The piece also notes other baseball items including umpire Mike Freels, Cubs and White Sox schedules, Phillies lineup shifts, and the start of the baseball draft with Cincinnati holding multiple early picks and receiving extra choices from the Pete Rose signing.
