I remember Tony Horton from my childhood, but can't believe in all these years I never realized what happened to him.
Here is a pretty good SABR article on Horton:

Yeah he’s got a fascinating story. Sort of reminds me of Jimmy Piersall, but whereas Piersall improved his functioning to play baseball, Horton did not and disappeared completely.
Edit: And yes, it was in the Boston area. There was very little in the way of other baseball stuff in the house and Tony is a lifelong California resident with a track record for being very distant and aloof. So how this jersey ended up where it did is a whole other mystery for me.
