Hornsby will go down in history as one of the greatest natural hitters to ever grace the baseball diamond. At the end of his career he was released from the Browns, Hornsby was unable to retire because he had lost so much money gambling over the years. He signed as a player-coach with the Baltimore Orioles of the International League in 1938 before leaving them to play for and manage the Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern Association for the rest of the season. Hornsby then returned to the Orioles to manage them for 1939, but he did not return to the club following the season. We offer an original 5 x 8 photo that originates from the Baltimore Sun archives picturing Hornsby in Orioles uniform (which is almost unheard of) stamped on the back April 13, 1939. Wow!!!
