TY COBB FOR REAL... LOOK AT HIS STATS
![]() Ty Cobb may have been baseball's greatest player, if not the game's fiercest competitor. 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. Intimidating the opposition, The Georgia Peach stole 892 bases during a 24-year career, primarily with the Detroit Tigers. AS FAR AS bO jACKSON THE SAME COULD BE SAID FOR BARRY SANDERS. What he did playing for the toothless Lions.

you can't say from any statistical standpoint that Ty Cobb is better than Babe Ruth. give me 100 point higher on baseball percentage and 200 point higher slugging percentage and 500 more home runs over 700 more stolen bases any day of the week.
shit i would imagine a more reasonable argument from the Mays and/or Williams camp being #1 because pitching/defense was better and they had WWII that basically robbed them of their primes. Last edited by Wes; 01-30-09 at 03:35 PM. |

Don't forget Ruth could pitch too.
You gotta go with the Babe. |

Hit it on the head for me here. Ted Williams is the best HITTER to ever play. You can't compare pitchers to batters is the only reason I emphasize hitter. Walter Johnson is the best pitcher ever. My point is Williams lost 4 years to war, he'd have phenomenal (as if what he has done isn't) batting stats if not for that. He was also the last one to bat over .400.
