... and was no slouch in Detroit. Going into the last day of the 1926 season, Manush trailed Babe Ruth, Bob Fothergill and Harry Heilmann for the batting title. He played a double header and went 6 for 9 and clinched the batting title outright. Although he didn't know it, he had the second highest OPS in the league that year... second to Babe Ruth.

... , Ty Cobb - don’t you think these guys, as their bodies fell apart in sickness and old age, would have given their last breath just to play one more game in front of the crowds, in front of their families? Baseball is what they were born to do. It was their destiny. If, while still in the game, one can play out the string with a sense of gratitude, with a feeling that they’re going to make the most of what little time they have left, then the end may not be so hard. The old cliché, and great Tim McGraw song, is to ...

Rich: Speaking of Bonds, Clemens, and Piazza, Joe Posnanski wrote about the Hall of Fame Class of 2013. Controversies or not, this class, which also includes Craig Biggio, Sammy Sosa, and Curt Schilling, is one of the best ever. Maybe the most talent since the inaugural class of 1936 when Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner ...

He's not getting 200 hits a year for the the next few years, but could he average 150 and surge past 3000 in a hurry. If he plays another 6 years at 150 hits a year, well, he'd be in some awfully fancy company! In case you're curious, here's the leaderboard for career hits: Rank / Player / Hits 1. Pete Rose 4256 2.

SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION: Ty Cobb to Bart Simpson in 6 moves
Published 6/10/2008 by Mark Snyders at FOOD. SHELTER. BASEBALL.
I've done this before, Babe Ruth to Elmo —two of the most fun loving characters who ever lived. This time out I thought I'd feature a couple of bad boys, Ty Cobb and Bart Simpson . It's really not a great comparison. Cobb was a mean-spirited racist, while Bart is more of misunderstood prankster. Cobb is the better hitter and fielder. Bart is better at stealing things (except bases, of course). Anyway, as I explained last time, the basic theory behind "Six Degrees of Separation" is that every person in the world is connected with every other person in ...

... in baseball history. The only other players to hold a candle to Williams in terms of hitting played in the hitter-friendly era of the early 1900's. I don't think there is a legitimate reason to rate Williams ahead of Ruth even with the missed time in WWII. Williams never won a World Series. He also didn't have the presence on the base paths as someone like Ty Cobb or Willie Mays. Williams' career OPS+ of 190 is considerably higher than anyone other than Ruth. 3) Ty Cobb Ty Cobb was the first superstar of the 20th century. He was a nasty man but a brilliant ...
