Ty Cobb Was Off By Himself
Ty Cobb, Bobby Jones and Coach Bill Alexander started off
the Georgia Athletic Hall of Fame last Saturday night In Atlanta.
Only Jones, the peerless golfer, Is living of the great triumvirate.
Earl Mann, former president of the Atlanta baseball club and
friend of long standing of this writer, eulogized Cobb and told
how he was thrilled In his youth by being bat boy for the famed
Georgia Peach who spent 24 years as a major league star,
nearly all of it with Detroit.
Which reminded me that in the long agone when Tyrus was at
his peak as the driving force of the Tigers this scribbler was
breaking In as a sports writer on the old Atlanta Georgian. One
of his assignments -- the major one, in fact — was keeping up
with Cobb with a daily piece in the paper written from the box
score and the “lead*’ on the Tiger game that cameover the
Associated Press nightly.
It was a thrill for me, too, to be the "Ty Cobb Reporter”,
besides baseball was my game and I played it every chance,
and the matchless Ty had by then become a byword all through
this state and wherever baseball was known.
The things Cobb used to do to opposing pitchers and teams!
He was a wonder, a miracle man. When the Tigers won, and that
was pretty often because they were usually in the pennant race,
it was almost Invariably Tyrus who led them to victory.
It was nothing for him to beat out a bunt, steal second and third,
and then come home on an Infield out. Or, more brilliant, to
hit a double, steal third and home with the winning run. Or,
believe It or not, get hit and arrive on first, and then go all the
way to third-- I mean all the way —on an Infield out. And
then maybe round third going full speed and head for home.
Ty was a great psychologist, knew how to get the opposition up
in the air. And so, as I say, often he wouldn’t hold up at third
but round It at top speed and break for the plate. Many times and
oft the enemy would be so startled by his daring they’d throw the
ball wild, Ty would score, and Detroit would win, 2-1, or 1-0,
or 3-2, or some such.
Pitchers were more in control of the game in those days and
mostly they were low-score contests.
Which makes it the more remarkable that the great Georgian
posted a life-time batting average of .368 over 24 years, Nobody
is even close to that.
