Rogers Hornsby Batting Average

Hornsby's .424 season.

Rogers Hornsby played for the Cardinals from 1915 to 1926 and again in 1933. He hit .424 in 1924, the fourth-highest single-season batting average in MLB history and the live-ball era record, which no player has matched since. He won Triple Crowns in 1922 and 1925, the only two-time winner in National League history, and played second base on the Cardinals' first World Series winners in 1926.
