Cobb sat out the last game in 1910 leading by 8. LaJoie went 8 for 8 in a double header to edge him out. But they found an error in Cobb's record, which gave him a higher average, and they reclaimed Cobb the winner. But a controversy erupted out of further mistakes, and to this day, the actual winner of 1910 is neither. But they were both awarded a Chalmers car for top batting average.
