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 died in 1963 and was elected to the Baseball HOF in 1942. We offer a typed letter from 1936 when Hornsby was a playing Manager for the Browns. He writes to a young ballplayer that all the Major league clubs have scouts that scour the country seeking talent. Hornsby goes on to state that he could not recommend this ballplayer as he has not seen him in action, but that when the Browns were playing in New York, that this ballplayer might run over to the stadium to pitch batting practice.
