Browns Hornsby Newest .400 Hitter
Monday, October 2nd, 1922
Rogers Hornsby joined a very select group today as he closed out 1922 with a torrid .410 batting average. It was a fantastic year for the St. Louis second baseman as he became the newest member of baseball's .400 club.
During the season he stroked 250 hits, including 36 doubles, 16 triples and 23 home runs. Hornsby also scored 142 times and drove in 116 runs.
Asked by the media what's the hardest part of hitting .400, he glibly replied, "Getting 4 hits in every 10 at-bats." Then, speaking seriously, Hornsby added, "Staying out of slumps is important. You have to be focused in every game and in every at-bat. Don't swing at anything but strikes... and stay away from any pitch you can't hit."
