Here's a really rough hack job for Rogers Hornsby. Bio from The National Baseball Hall of Fame.
January 6th, 1963
Rogers Hornsby passed away yesterday. He was 67.
Perhaps the game's most proficient right-handed hitter, Rogers Hornsby captured seven batting titles - including six in a row - topping .400 three times. A complete player with a fierce passion for the game, Hornsby's .424 mark in 1924 is a National League record for the 20th century and his career average of .359 is the highest ever in the National League. "The Rajah," a two-time MVP and two-time Triple Crown winner, was the player-manager of the Cardinals' first World Championship team in 1926 and was the first National League player to hit 300 home runs.
"He's the only guy I know who could hit .350 in the dark."
— Frankie Frisch
.358 career BA, 301 HR, 1584 RBI's
Hornsby, as well as Frisch, would have hyperlinks to their personal pages.
