Default The All Century Team - A Retrospective
Posted By: Jeff Lichtman

Either Ruth or Cobb were the greatest ever. Regarding Cobb, consider the following: in 1909, Cobb led the league in batting average, on base percentage, slugging percentage, runs, hits, total bases, home runs, RBI and stolen bases. Wrap your head around those stats: he was the fastest, the most powerful, the most resourceful and the best hitter in the league. That will never occur again.
