Ty Cobb

The crowd makes the ballgame.
Ty Cobb

Ty Cobb

Ty Cobb

The way those clubs shift against Ted Williams, I can't understand how he can be so stupid not to accept the challenge to him and hit to left field.
Ty Cobb

To get along with me, don't increase my tension.
Ty Cobb

When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch.
Ty Cobb
