1936 R312, Rogers Hornsby ⭐️ GOAT, 2nd Baseman
The hobby should not undervalue the power of "The Ra-Jah".
Over his 23-year career, "The Rajah" established himself as arguably the greatest right-handed hitter in baseball history. He ended his career with a .358 lifetime batting average, which is the third-highest in MLB history.
He won the Triple Crown twice!
Rogers Hornsby batted .402 over 5 years from 1921-25.
Rogers Hornsby is the only player in Major League history to hit 40 or more home runs and bat .400 or better in the same season. He accomplished this historic feat in 1922 with the St. Louis Cardinals, finishing the year with a .401 batting average and 42 home runs.

4 hearts... hmmm interesting choice

1936 R312, Rogers Hornsby⭐
Rogers Hornsby ("Rajah") is widely considered one of the greatest right-handed hitters in MLB history, with a career .358 BA (second-highest all-time) and two National League Triple Crowns. He won seven batting titles, hit over .400 three times (including a modern-era record .424 in 1924), and led the 1926 Cardinals to a World Series title as player-manager.
This is my only vintage card of Rogers.

A game used bat battle nameplate from one of the best hitters of ALL TIME. A true museum piece. And, to top it off, as a St. Louis Cardinals fan, he’s in the top 3: Hornsby, Musial, Pujols. Items like this aren’t just “cards”…these relics are one-of-a-kind pieces of sports history. So lucky to have it as part of my collection. Just check some of his stats:

• Lifetime batting average: .358 — second only to Ty Cobb’s .366 in MLB history.

• Hits: 2,930.

• Home runs: 301.

• Runs batted in (RBIs): 1,584.

• On-base percentage (OBP): .434.

• Slugging percentage (SLG): .577.

• On-base plus slugging (OPS): ~1.010.
