Answer 2

Tyrus Raymond "Ty" Cobb (December 18, 1886 – July 17, 1961), nicknamed "the Georgia Peach", was an American baseball player generally considered to be the greatest player of the "dead ball era" (1900 – 1920). When he retired in 1928, he was the holder of ninety major league records and he received the most votes of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1936. When a reporter asked Cobb in the late 1950s how well he thought he would hit against modern pitchers, he responded "Probably only about .290...you have to remember I'm over seventy years old now."[1]

Cobb currently holds the records for highest major-league career batting average with .366 and most career batting titles with 12. Cobb also held for decades the most career major league hits with 4,191, later broken by Pete Rose, and most career stolen bases with 892, later broken by Lou Brock and Rickey Henderson

In 1907, Cobb hit .350 to win the first of nine consecutive batting titles. He also led the league with 212 hits, 49 steals and 119 RBI.


Many more examples that prove that Cobb was the best to ever set foot on a baseball diamond.

Answer 3

There were alot of great baseball players Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron or Willie Mays or Jackie Robinson but my pick for greatest alltime is Mickey Mantle if not for health problems i think he could have passed Babe Ruth and had an even better Hall of fame career! Mickey was and is the greatest ballplayer just think if he would have stayed healthy wow he stats would have been thru the roof! He holds record for most world series hoem runs with 18! Most world series total bases with 123 and most world series runs scored with 42! He is still missed he was truly the greatest!

Answer 4

You would have to say Babe Ruth because he changed the way the game was played. Ruth was hitting more home runs than several teams when he first started. The house that Ruth built - yankee stadium, The Curse of the Bambino, and lets not forget Baby Ruth, a decent candy bar. Also little known that he was also a great pitcher in his day. So he could hit and pitch.

Answer 10

Tyrus Raymond Cobb.

Answer 11

Babe Ruth was a proven bona fide pitcher AND, later went on to set his records. When you look at his stats in his era, he far outpaced his HR counterparts early in his career. He even pitched in the World Series with Boston before the "curse trade."
Imagine how many HR he would have hit if he wasn't a pitcher early in his career.
