Numbers were not worn by ballplayers in 1923. The first baseball team to use numbers on uniforms was the 1916 Cleveland Indians when they wore small numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms, as a way of identifying the players. This practice was short lived.
The 1929 the New York Yankees were the first team to wear numbers on the backs of their jerseys on a regular basis. The numbers corresponded to each player's general position in the lineup.for example Babe Ruth wore No. 3, since he usually batted third, and Lou Gehrig wore No. 4 as he batted fourth.
In 1932 NL president John Heydler issues an edict on June 22 that all NL teams should wear numbers. Rogers Hornsby played for the Chicago Cubs in 1932, and his first number was 9. The following year he played for the St. Louis Cardinals, and was issued number 4, and number 16 for the Browns. The last 4 years of his career playing for the Browns he wore number 11 (1934/1935), and number 4 (1936/1935)

What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Rogers Hornsby in 1923?
In 1923, Rogers Hornsby played for the St. Louis Cardinals. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1923, Rogers Hornsby had 424 at bats, 163 hits, 55 walks, and was hit by the pitch 3 times. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .459. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1923, Rogers Hornsby had 424 at bats, and hit 104 singles, 32 doubles, 10 triples, and 17 home runs, for a .627 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1923, Rogers Hornsby had a .459 On Base Percentage and a .627 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of 1.086. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1923, Rogers Hornsby had a .459 On Base Percentage and 266 Total Bases for 121.96 Runs Created.
