	Rogers Hornsby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rogers’ career.358 batting average is the highest by a right-handed hitter in the history of Major League Baseball.

		Hornsby was the great-grandson of early Texas pioneer Reuben Hornsby and is a distant relative of musician Bruce Hornsby, who sometimes performs with a bust of Rogers on his piano.

	Player Profile: Rogers Hornsby
		Player notes: Rogers Hornsby is one of the best-known players in the history of the game, yet he has always been a bit of a controversial figure, so I thought I'd address some of the issues surrounding his career.
		Where Hornsby had trouble was with managers and team owners, with whom he came into conflict over his willingness to second-guess and criticize management decisions.
		Thus, Hornsby was often coming into conflict with managers (who feared that he might take their job), certain players (who were loyal to the current manager), and owners (who disliked having such an outspoken employee).
