'''Ty Cobb''' is considered by many to have been the greatest baseball player ever, garnering more votes for his induction in the first batch of players to the Hall of Fame than any other player, including [[Babe Ruth]].  But Cobb was also one of the dirtiest players in an era when baseball was a far more brutal sport than today.  Later in life Cobb reportedly converted to [[Christianity]] and was anonymously very charitable in his donation of wealth that he earned outside of baseball.

Cobb was opposed to the emphasis on home runs that began with [[Babe Ruth]] and continues to this day.  Cobb felt that a hitter should swing down on a ball, not upwards as [[Ted Williams]] advocated.
