Re: ROGERS HORNSBY
He batted .400 several times.
Won two triple crowns.
As a player/manager, led the Cardinals to their first WS win back in 1926.
Statistically, probably the best player to ever play for the Cardinals.

He once called me a talking pile of pigshit. And that was the weekend my parents drove down from Michigan to see me play!
Re: ROGERS HORNSBY
So this is thread #2 to tell us you don't know anything about one of the greatest Cardinals ever? Congrats?

Re: ROGERS HORNSBY
Quite simply, one of the greatest RH batters of all time.
Re: ROGERS HORNSBY
Known as one of the greatest hitters of all time and maybe the best right handed hitter ever I believe. If you haven't heard of Rogers Hornsby then you aren't really a Cards fan. You just play at one. You should check out the rich history of the Cards. Dizzy Dean, Paul Dean, Ducky Medwick, Frankie Frisch, etc etc. You can get lost in the stories.
