Episode 294 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we’re back on the diamond discussing Ty Cobb.

One of Major League Baseball’s best and meanest players of all-time, Cobb was a tortured soul who overcame the tragedy of his Mother killing his Father right before his big league career started with the Detroit Tigers.

An intense centerfielder, Cobb established himself as one of the greatest hitters and base stealers of all-time in Detroit during the 1900s and 1910s. Overall, Cobb helped the Tigers win three pennants in a row (1907, 1908 and 1909), won 12 batting titles, won a Triple Crown in 1909, won an AL MVP in 1911 and led the AL in stolen bases six times.

Cobb’s volatile attitude got him in trouble with teammates, opponents and fans on several occasions during his career. Nevertheless, he was the premier player of the “Dead Ball Era.”

When he finished his career, he was MLB’s all-time leader in hits, stolen bases, runs scored and consecutive seasons batting .300 or better.

Cobb remains a controversial figure to this day. However, his impact on baseball will forever remain important.
