Norm Cash's 1961 Batting Title*

Does Norm Cash deserve his 1961 batting title?...The former Tiger once admitted to playing the entire season with a cork bat when he hit .361 in his fabulous 1961 season. A season in which the slugger hit at a clip 70 points higher than he ever hit. Should his crown be remove or should he get an asterisk by his name?

If every player admitted all the stuff they did, we would have asterisks next to everyone's name.

Never-the-less the man admitted to using an illegal bat over the course of an entire 162 game year...

You guys wanna take the Hall away from Palmero...why not a simple thing like a batting title then?

Yep, I agree. If a guy cheated to earn an honor, he doesn't deserve the honor, be it batting title or Hall of Fame.

When did he admit to this? Is this something new or just common knowledge. I haven't heard this before.
