The Rajah won seven batting titles and hit over .400 three times.

Hornsby had an unrivaled passion for baseball; as a young player, he once even donned a disguise to play in a womens league. But his unyielding drive to succeed often alienated him from lesser players, and his penchant for the racetrack made him powerful enemies in baseballs higher ranks.
