Original 1925 photograph of the greatest hitter of the era, Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals. Intense portrait photograph shows the slugger in deep thought as if he was contemplating the astounding season he had just finished. He was possibly thinking about whether or not he could repeat the .424 batting average he complied the season before! One of the most poignant and deep images of Hornsby we have ever seen, the clarity is tremendous and the condition is nice.
