Ty Cobb is one of the most intriguing athletes in history. Imagine if he played today? He would make John Rocker look like Mother Theresa

Tyrus Raymond "Ty" Cobb (December 18, 1886 – July 17, 1961), nicknamed "The Georgia Peach", was a Hall of Fame baseball player. When he retired in 1928, he was the holder of ninety major league records.[1] Cobb also received the most votes of any player on the 1936 inaugural Hall of Fame Ballot.[2]

Cobb currently holds the records for highest major-league career batting average with .366 [2]and most career batting titles with 11[3]. Cobb also held for decades the record for most career major league hits that was broken by Pete Rose (4,189, long believed to be 4,191)[4][5], and the most career stolen bases with 892, later broken by Lou Brock and Rickey Henderson[6]. Upon his death in 1961, the New York Times editorialized, "Let it be said that Cobb was the greatest of all ballplayers."[7]

The greatest of stars during his playing prime, Cobb's legacy as an athlete has sometimes been overshadowed by his surly temperament and aggressive reputation[8], which was described by the Detroit Free Press as "daring to the point of dementia."[9]
