Rogers Hornsby was this great baseball player who was the greatest batting average-wise anyway, right-handed hitter who ever lived.

Mike CouillardHOST

Mike CouillardHOST
But what do you think about those retro fractures for Hornsby and Palmer?
31 MINS LATER
Mike CouillardHOST
Jim Palmer.
Mike CouillardHOST
