Why did people hate the man who used his great ability to accomplish what he was paid to do? If the opposition couldn't keep up with him, that's their problem.
@Watersnake777 - My guess Watersnake is because Tyrus was such a horrible human being. His amazing baseball achievements aside, people hate him mainly because he was the devil incarnate. On and off the field. Would've loved to see him play though...
Cobb was the first player to swing multiple bats before stepping up to the plate.He also remains the only American Leaguer to lead in homers and stolen bases in the same season.Another relatively unknown fact about Cobb is that he patented a cork handled bat around 1913 that was used by the Louisville Slugger folks until around 1931 or so.
@TheBatugan77 Agreed. To me Ruth is the greatest ever simply because he was a great pitcher and THEN put up historic hitting numbers. It's like A-Rod winning 20 games as a pitcher, world series pitcher and then hitting 100 HR's in a season (yes - that was the equivelent then when Ruth was hitting 50 and 60 compared to the rest of league. Ruth was hitting more hr's in a season than most teams! and a .342 avg. Insane.
I'm surprised more ballplayers have'nt tried adapting that unique grip that Cobb used, with his hands choked up and separated. It looks kinda strange but It obviously works, seeing how he is the greatest hitter that ever lived and all. Ty Cobb: Baseball God.
@SalSanMar3 Williams was the best pure hitter. Cobb was the best hitter for average. Cobb was a MUCH better all around ball player. But I stress that Teddy Ballgame was a also a much better person than Cobb.
@SalSanMar3 Ted Williams has the best on-base-percentage-plus-slugging percentage, next to Ruth. Williams is in the top 15 for home runs. Williams Rarely struck out more than 50 times a season and frequently drew more than 100 walks. Williams ate,breathed, and slept hitting, Willliams wanted to be known as the best hitter ever. Cobb just wanted to be #1, he didn't give a damn about anyone or anything else, or how he became #1.
cobb makes all of todays players look like pansies and fi-fi boys. there is no one out there today that plays the game anywhere near as hard as guys like pete rose and cobb. and nobody ever will again. they also played at a time with out PEDs and fancy training programs. they did it all with desire and well developed talent.
He was the Greatest Base Runner and Hitter of the Dead Ball era. Although Hounus Wagner was great too. People shoulld look beyond his Bigotry and realize the Intellect of a great Ball Player like Ty Cobb
This is excellent!!!!!! Thinking if you live in Detroit perhaps on Halloween a group of us can meet at the corner in Vintage uniforms for pics...AKA the ghost game
Ty Cobb was actually a homosexual, and was once questioned in the in the case of Brody Delham, a 13 year old boy who was found raped and strangled, not to mention that he admitted to killing two african americans teens. The fact that this piece of shit is considered an "American Hero" is what's wong with this country.
This is a nice tribute. Cobb was the greatest all time undoubtedly. Everything else is pop culture denial. He changed the game forever. Today, they sttill play Cobb-style MLB. Thank god! We will never see another Ty Cobb.
only on the senoir circuit broseph cobb style ball died in the american league in 1969 when owners decided their pitchers were pussies and could not bat thats fucked up baseball ever since
i love this montage to use a frenchified saying i love baseball and ilove ty cobb i wish i was like stan musial the jesus christ of our game but i cant be i plow into infielders with my spikes high i have a god complex to this day this man was the greaters ballplayer to ever live
The Georgia Peach: the greatest star of the deadball era and nearly universally despised by his fellow players -- including his own teammates. Had he not been a baseball star he would probably have spent his life in a mental institution or a prison. A psychopathic personality and unrepentant racist -- at war with the world to the bitter end.
ud pay more to see tryrell cobb bat against either of them look mup his numbers against either of those worthies ill bet u a years salary(1908) his career average against both is 300 or bettewr
Thanks for putting that together,.....Cobb was and probably always WILL be the greatest and most misunderstood ball-players who ever graced the field. Many of his records still stand,.....in SPITE of today's physical training programs and performance enhancing drugs.
And for the record,....he wasn't as bad a person as most uneducated fans and wanna-be fans like to think he was,.....he just refused accept second best, and disliked anyone who did.
i wouldnt believe any of the times or records cobbs had. he was a great baseball player and he probably owned more records that were thought as untouchable as any baseball owned. but i know he got credited for a batting title cause they counted one game twice that nap lajoie should have won. i believe in 1909, but dont quote me on that.
@smtwtfs53 yeah, someone who beat up a black man who was congratulating him just cause he felt that man wasn't allowed to be at the same talking level as him. That totally makes him "not a bad person."
Get your head out of your ass. Being a good athlete doesn't translate to being a good person.
Awesome montage. My favorite baseball player of all time - except for the great Fred "Chicken" Stanley. The Al Stump biographies are most enlightening but read both since the first was influenced strongly by Cobb's editing while the more recent one reveals the things after Cobb's death wherein Stump was able to reveal his true assessment of the Georgia Peach. Cobb - a man at war with the world and himself yet baseball's greatest player of his time and perhaps all-time.
