By 1984, Thon was drawing excitement about his potential. "He's already the best shortstop in the league," said Craig Reynolds, whom Thon had replaced as the Astro shortstop. Al Rosen, Thon's general manager, said, "when I see Dickie Thon, I see a future Hall of Famer." His career was permanently altered on April 8, 1984, when he was hit in the face by Mike Torrez's fastball. Bill James thinks Thon might have been a Hall of Famer had the injury not occurred. The pitch broke the orbital bone around his left eye and ended his 1984 season. He returned in 1985, but had problems with depth perception that permanently hampered his potential. In 1991, Thon received the Tony Conigliaro Award in recognition of his recovery from this severe injury.

N'afọ 2013, Thon kwuru, sị, "Enweghị m ike ịhụ bọọlụ ahụ nke ọma mgbe a kụrụ m n'anya aka ekpe. Aghaghị m ime mgbanwe, ma meghee obere ma hụ bọọlụ nke ọma.
