Born in Narrows, Georgia, Ty Cobb was indeed a noted American outfielder. He spent nearly 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers.
Recognized for his outstanding talent, he is one of the best baseball players world has seen so far. He is honored with not less than 90 major league baseball records. Still today, he has successfully retained some of his records.
Ted is among the few players to receive maximum no. of votes on the inaugural Baseball hall of fame ballot. At the tender age of 20 years, Cobb was the youngest player to succeed in a battling championship. In his entire baseball career, it was four times when he won first, second, and third position in the same inning. In his later part of life, he was signed for the position of manager of Detroit Tigers Team. His 22-year baseball career gave him unimaginable prestige and wealth.
On September 1, 1928 he announced his retirement and took leave from baseball. But, still today he is counted as one of the great baseball players history has seen so far.
