Tell a friend:

















he was the best, bar none
he also was a better person than Ruth or Mantle contrary to today's (over 40 years after he died) opinion
go learn some facts about the man before you open your mouth
thanks
Yeah, he was dirty alright, but he was an amazing player, who played the right way...with his head.
And no, I don't hate Ty Cobb for his alleged racism. By todays standards he may be racist, but for back then he actually seems racially progressive.
Bonds doesn't even make the list
Mantle and Mays wouldn't make my top 10
Ruth (if you don't include pitchers and thus only look at his hitting)
would be third after Hans Wagner
If you did include pitchers, I might put some pitchers before both
Still Cobb was a great human a brilliant man with money and a genus in spikes
Yea it is insane especially considering over the first half of his career he played in the dead-ball era
He lead the league in SLUGGING 8X, LEAD THE LEAGUE
Came in 2nd 3 more times and 3rd 3 more
Plus add the steals in
Plus add in his great fielding and bunting abilities and you have the best
all around wonder and he wasn't even that talented
Some say he scored from 1st on a single, and came home from 2nd on a passed ball. That is nuts.
If you can't even check the stats, what are you good for?
He(Cobb) lead the league in Slugging 1907,1908,1909,1910,1911,1912,1914,1917
He came in second in SLUGGING 1913, 1915,1918,
He came 3rd in SLUGGING 1916,1921,1925
He lead in BA 12X, OPS 10, Steals 6, I could keep going
It is nuts
He has sooo many records I can't name them all in a post, but there was none better than the Great Georgia Peach, if he played for the Yankees we wouldn't be talking
You want to go on how crippled he was?
Cobb nearly lost his eyesight!...He got his tonsils hacked apart by a guy admitted to an an insane asylum, he got threats that guys were going to snipe him in Philly and elsewhere, he saw his mother kill his idol - his father, I could keep going but Mickey has nothing on him
Its not how skilled you are its how you use what you've got
Cobb worked so hard, and was so smart, his attack was so varied, He WAS A GENUS IN SPIKES
