According to many observers, Ty Cobb may
have been baseball's greatest player. His batting accomplishments are
legendary—a lifetime average of .367, 297 triples, 4,191 hits, 12
batting titles (including nine in a row), 23 straight seasons in which
he hit over .300, three .400 seasons (topped by a .420 mark in 1911),
and 2,245 runs. Nicknamed "The Georgia Peach," Cobb stole 892
bases during a 24-year career, primarily with the Detroit Tigers.
