As if Rogers Hornsby doesn’t have enough Monster Card nominations already. He’s been written up for 1922, 1924 and 1929.
Rajah’s 1921 season is just as full of gaudy numbers. For St Louis, he led in practically every offensive category except homeruns and steals. That included 44 doubles, 126 rbis, 131 runs, and a .397 batting average. He did hit 21 homers which back in 1921 was still a big deal especially in the NL.

Wow, a 44-0, a 31-7 and a 61-9 for someone who plays every day. Nice card!
Rogers is pretty versatile here. He plays five positions. In case you didn’t notice, Hornsby also has three 31s.
Fun numbers: 44-0m 31-7, 51-7, stop me there are too many!
I honestly can’t remember who suggested this. ‘Fess up so I can give you credit!
Hi Tom, I sent you that one a while ago. He has brutalized the Cubs every time they play.
