A .358 batting average characterizes a career year for most superstars, but Rogers Hornsby averaged that over his 23 seasons in the majors. Hornsby's .424 average in 1924 is the highest in the modern era. The 7-time NL Batting Champion, 4-time NL RBI Champion and 2-time Triple Crown winner was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1942. This “Wilson” manufactured Official Babe Ruth League baseball has been signed in blue ballpoint pen by the great Rogers Hornsby (ss) with the added inscription “1957”, in our opinion the signature rates a near 6. The ball is in GD condition. Accompanied by a full LOA from JSA.
