Best Hornsby Card

[Fred]

Austin, Texas is a tourist destination city. If anybody's in Austin, the Hornsby Cemetery isn't too far from the airport. The Rajah was a bat master for sure.

I'm sure it's well-known enough, but it's worth restating here for the heck of it.
Hornsby got his odd, 'pluralized' first name, because it's his mother's maiden name - Mary Rogers.

I also like the W517 of Hornsby, especially the sepia tint version. I just noticed that it appears the Tattoo Orbit card of him, seen earlier in the thread, appears to utilize this same photo, just cropped and tilted slightly.

Here is the photo used to make the W517, taken by Conlon

Thanks Chris...I copied, and pasted the Conlon photo and Tattoo Orbit, and gave the Tattoo Orbit a little tilt, just to emphasize that the Tattoo Orbit does indeed appear to have used the Conlon photo (as does the W517) for its creation.

A related inquiry. Did other Tattoo Orbit cards utilize Conlon photos? Just in case anyone has some ideas.

Good call on the Tattoo Orbits Hornsby/Conlon connection. The Babe Herman is from a Conlon photo too.
