Ty Cobb
In an essay on Ty Cobb (1886–1961), the Baseball Hall of Fame asserts that Cobb may have been the best all-around baseball player that has ever lived. He spent twenty-two seasons in Detroit and another two in Philadelphia, before retiring as the holder of forty-three major league awards. In 1936, when the first balloting was held for election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cobb garnered the most votes out of the five nominees. |
