Ty Cobb. Ty Cobb is arguably the greatest baseball player who ever put on spikes. During his 24-year career, he established records in virtually every area of the offensive game. His .367 lifetime average stands as the best in baseball history, a virtually unattainable goal for hitters.
Ty Cobb may have been the best baseball player of all-time, but there is little doubt that he was the dirtiest. Cobb was the leading vote getter on the inaugural Hall of Fame ballot (above Babe Ruth), set 90 MLB records during his career, and still has the high career batting average (.367). But Cobb's legacy as a great player is overshadowed by his style of play and off-field issues. Cobb was known for sliding with his spikes up when he stole bases, when he sharpened to intentionally cause fielders to bleed, but those were the smaller of the Cobb controversies. He was a known fighter on and off the field -- one time he fought umpire Billy Evans after a game.
