The Rajah prowled Cardinals dirt in 1922, and the National League could only watch. Rogers Hornsby hit .401 with forty-two home runs and one hundred fifty-two ribbies—a Triple Crown that made every other bat look thin. One hundred fifty-four games, two hundred fifty hits, forty-six doubles, a .722 slug. Brash, unrelenting, utterly in command at the keystone. The summer the legend got its polish.
TRIPLE CROWN
Forty-two homers, one hundred fifty-two ribbies, and a .401 clip — the Rajah owned the National League outright.
250 HITS
Two hundred fifty knocks and forty-six doubles — Cardinals keystone thunder all summer.
.401 CLIP
A .722 slug with the crown on his head — 1922 was the mountain, not a rumor.
