Ty Cobb is the hardest man in the

than any other player. He takes big
chances generally has to be tagged
and gives the baseman only foot to
touch him.
They say Cobb spikes more players
than any one else" said silk. eff that
is true Its because he has more chances
to spike basemen. He has ten chances
to spike basemen where most players
have one.

in which Cobb was the runner. and
never saw him spike any one inten-
tionally. Ty is always going away
