SWC: "Willie hit two in the first Chiefs game my Dad ever took me to"
 
The Chief's had a great team back then. There were quite a few of who made major contributions in defeating the Cardinals in the 1968 World Series.
 
On Willie's birthday my best friend presented Horton with a life sized stuffed bear. Dave took it down to the dugout before the game. I'll never forget the big smile on Willie's face.
 
Other top players on that Syracuse Chiefs team were Jim Northrup (the Silver Fox), Mickey Stanley the outfielder who had to play shortstop because of injuries to the starter , Denny McClain 31 game winner, Mickey Lolich, reliever John Hiller who had heart trouble, husky Gates Brown, Ray Oyler Tommy Matchick, Wayne Comer and Don Wert.
 
Harry Carey & Curt Gowdey on the call
