The page from the 1971 Illustrated Digest of Baseball highlights notable baseball figures. Jay (Dizzy) Dean, a renowned player, achieved 150 career wins and was pivotal in the St. Louis Cardinals' "Gas House Gang," playing alongside his brother Daffy. He notably led the league in wins three times and secured 30 victories in 1934, marking him as the last National League pitcher to accomplish such a feat at that time. Frankie Frisch, a switch-hitting infielder, had a career spanning from 1919 to 1937 with the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals, boasting a .316 lifetime average. He managed the Cardinals' Gas House Gang and later managed the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs. Rogers Hornsby is celebrated as an all-time great, maintaining a .358 lifetime average with a record-setting .424 average in 1924 and capturing the Triple Crown in 1925.
