His best season at the plate was in 1924 when he batted .424. Hornsby finished three seasons with a .400+ average and lmhe led the league in hits four times with a league best 250 hits in 1922.

#OffermannStadium opened on this site in 1889 and played host to the minor league @BuffaloBisons for many decades. It was also the home to the legendary #IndianapolisClowns of the #NegroLeagues from 1951-55, the team #HenryAaron was playing on in 1952 when the #BostonBraves bought out his contract. During the Clowns #Buffalo residence, they also signed the first women to ever play professional #baseball (#ToniStone, #MamiePeanutJohnson and #ConnieMorgan). The site is now home to the #BuffaloAcademyfortheVisualandPerformingArts. And, irony of all ironies, a badly rusted and faded sign in the parking lot proclaims “No Ball Playing Allowed.” @MLB @MiLB @nlbmuseumkc @nlbmprez @baseballhall 🦬 ⚾️ (at Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts - BAVPA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRk58xwsM3z/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Atlanta Braves have a new stadium this year, and I loved the displays of old uniforms with historic bats and balls on the lower concourse. The team is struggling, but you owe yourself a visit if you're nearby. #atlanta #braves #battlegroundtravel #baseball #atlantabraves #bostonbraves #uniforms
