Posted By: <b>Tim</b><p>Rogers Hornsby only played one season for the Brave's in 1928. (.387) Does anyone know of any other card besides 1928 Exhibits W461-7 (28) that shows Hornsby as a memeber of the Braves?

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>The set known as 1926-29 Exhibits will also have a Hornsby on the Boston Braves.<br /><br />The 1926-29 Exhibits can be found with Hornsby listed with St. Louis, Boston, or Chicago (3 variations). <br /><br />It will look similar to this card but say Boston NL<br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/exhibithornsby.jpg>

Posted By: <b>Tim</b><p>The Exhibit card you are refering to sat Boston N.L. on it but shows him in a Cardinals uniform. I was hoping there was a card of him in a Braves uniform.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Tim, I know what you mean. Too many recycled photos in the early years. I just looked at the Braves uniforms for that year, the hats are a solid blue, home and away are both pinstriped. Not many pictures of Hornsby from 1928, I found only 1 small one that doesnt match any known cards that I know of.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.mearsonline.com/images/news/thumbs/rogers%20hornsby%206-29-2005%201-51-12%20PM.jpg">
