Rogers Hornsby played until he was 41.

At age 35 he had 2855 hits.

Over the next 6 injury-filled seasons he only managed 75 hits over 305 plate appearances. Even with the injuries he still managed hitting .291 with a .400 ob%.

He finished his career with 2930 hits. He should have been flirting with 3500 hits

2010 Topps Prince Fielder is an all-time great baseball card. If it was made a decade later it would be a SP/SSP at best.

Joe Niekro hit only one home run in his career. The victim was his brother, Phil, in 1976.

In 1941, Joe DiMaggio hit safely in 56 consecutive games, got stopped, and then hit safely in the next 16 games as well. Meanwhile, Ted Williams went 6-for-8 on the final day of the season to hit .406. But neither led the American League in hits that season.

Mattingly hit 6 grand slams in '87 which is tied for the most in any season. Crazy stat is he never hit another one in his career.
