Ty Cobb hit over .300 for 23 consecutive seasons
In fact, he could have gone 0-for-his-last-2,541 at bats and still had a .300 career average. As one story goes, in the year before his death, Cobb was asked by a reporter how he would fare in the modern game. “I’d hit about .300,” Cobb said. The reporter was aghast. Ty Cobb? Only hitting .300? “You’ve got to remember,” Cobb added, “I’m 73 years old!” |
