March 9, 1922 Rogers Hornsby, coveted by John McGraw of the Giants, signs a three-year contract with Cardinals' owner Sam Breadon. The 25 year-old second baseman, who will hit .404 over the three-year span of the deal, agrees to a salary of $18‚500 per season, making him the highest paid player in National League history.

You're saying Derek Jeter traveling back in time to 1924 couldn't hit .424?
