by Jonathan D'Amore '99 (Greenwood Press)
This look at "The Rajah," the player who led the Saint Louis Cardinals
to World Series triumph in 1926, is complete with statistics of
one of baseball's greatest hitters. Hornsby hit over .400 three
times in his career and has the highest career batting average
of any right-handed hitter. But his life was complicated by a
fondness for the racetrack and his dealings with upper-level management.
This book is part of the "Baseball's All-Time Greatest Hitters"
series from Greenwood
Press.
