Its funny how the greatest 2nd baseman of all time, the greatest right handed hitter of all time and the most underrated baseball player of all time are all the same person...
I'd note also that Hornsby, like so many great hitters of his day, dropped his hands deeply (what nowadays we tend to condemn as a "hitch") before his swing ---
Hornsby holds the franchise record for highest batting average in a season for 3 different teams:the Cardinals(.424),the Braves(.387),and the Cubs(.380)!

Good stuff. By today's standards, Hornsby's style was somewhat unorthodox. But can't argue with his results:) --
