He called everyone pappy. He died from COPD complications Sept 11, 1984. My mama was his youngest daughter and she has told me many stories of his baseball days.

I grew up hearing stories about him from my father and grandmother Ann. I got my middle name from him (Troy, ever pronounced T-Roy) and my middle son inherited his nickname. Thank you for sharing this article!Audacia77https://www.blogger.com/profile/10377358929687030739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100073090738271212.post-39229715757730132902017-03-21T17:23:05.716-05:002017-03-21T17:23:05.716-05:00Great stuff on Goat.

His college name was Troy State Normal School. It was later Troy State Teachers College, then Troy State College, then Troy State University and now is know as Troy University.<br />Goat played for Troy. His nephew, John Columbus Horn played for Troy around 1950 and John's nephew, Tommy Horn (me)played for Troy in 1970 and 71. Tommy Horn's nephew Michael Horn played junior college baseball for <br />Central Alabama in Alex City around 1990. Michael was the SS for the AUM Dixie baseball Montgomery team that won 3 world series and was runner up twice in the 1980s. He now coaches at Faulkner(JV) in Montgomery. He played 3B for Jeff Davis High School in Montgomery. I have a ton of pictures etc. on Goat Walker. I worked with Clarence Watkins (Goat portion) of his recent book (Baseball In Montgomery).<br />My contacts are: Tommy Horn 334-372-3044.
