Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe Ruth

Cobb lived off the field as though he wished to live forever. He lived on the field as though it was his last day.
Branch Rickey

Cobb would have to play center field on my all time team. But where would that put Speaker? In left. If I had them both, I would certainly play them that way.
John McGraw

I am seeing all the guys, like Earnie Shavers, Tex Cobb, and Larry Holmes all the time.
Gerry Cooney

In Georgia it's a little different because of the East Cobb program. It's such a strong program that we see a lot of kids that come through here on a lot of different teams from across the country that come here to play in tournaments.
Roy Clark

It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.
Al Kaline

The Babe was a great ballplayer, sure, but Cobb was even greater. Babe could knock your brains out, but Cobb would drive you crazy.
Tris Speaker

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb.
