In addition to Hornsby, the offense was led by future National Baseball Hall of Fame selectees: Chick Hafey, Jim Bottomley and Billy Southworth. The mound corps was led by a pair of HOF starters, Jesse Haines and Grover Cleveland Alexander. The Cardinals would go on to top the New York Yankees, 4 games to 3, to win World Series. Lt. trace of surface wear but totally bright and clean. Exc. Our last example, from the Muchinsky Collection, sold in 2020 for $1,427.
