Sports history’s first baseball ‘millionaire’, Ty Cobb is remembered as one of the most notorious sportsmen in the history of American baseball. His freakish behavior on field combined with his erratic, ambitious personality, made him ‘the one to beat’ in the game. Many believe his reputation as one of the toughest yet admirable baseball players is unmerited - however, his statistics and records speak volumes about his personality and determination, otherwise. To date, his career for batting average, which was .366, remains uninterrupted and is still the highest in the history of the game. He was the leader in runs scored with 2,245, and was the all-time hit leader until Pete Rose obscured him on the field. Fondly called ‘The Georgia Peach’, Cobb the fearsome American League Baseball outfielder, is remembered for slipping into bases, feet first, with his points high. He played over 3,035 major league games and also committed 271 errors, the greatest by any American League player. His legacy, although tarnished to a certain extent, still manages to retain a strong foothold in the world of sports. His violent temperament and aggressive playing style remain testament to his steady records on field. Even though he was disliked by many during his lifetime, he still left an indelible impression with his playing style, leaving much to be fulfilled at the time of his untimely death.
