Player Biography
Rogers Hornsby hit for average and power, winning two Triple Crowns and seven batting titles during his 23-year major league career. His .424 average in 1924 remains the highest in the National League since 1901. Intense and demanding, Hornsby often wore out his welcome with clubs, despite two pennants as player-manager. In 1935, Hornsby was only one of three players – along with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig – to have 300 career home runs. His lifetime batting average of .358 remains second-best all-time.
