After getting hit in the head by a fastball from Mike Torrez, Thon began to lose his vision. It eventually led to Thon's early retirement. Dthon...pronounced DEETHON.

Dickie is proud of his rainbow uniform

A righthanded pull hitter, Thon played briefly for the California Angels before being traded to the Astros for P Ken Forsch. Before the Torrez beaning, DThon was widely considered the NL's top hitting shortstop. Although his offense was more widely recognized, he was also cosidered one of the NL's top defensive SS's as well.
