Ty Cobb did quite well in one of the historical leagues I've run. I started this league in 1910, and Cobb played until 1925.


Career Highlights

Hit for the cycle 3 times
Won MVP twice
37 game hitting streak twice, once in 1912, once in 1923
Had 5 hits in a game twice and 6 hits in a game once

Played for the Tigers until 1919 when he was traded to the Browns. In 1924 he was traded to the Cubs and retired after the 1925 season. Hit .342 in his final season as a starter.

2957 Career Games
3879 Hits
655 Dbl's
275 Tpl's
112 Hr's
1513 Rbi's
1920 R's
1099 SB
474 CS

Career Avg, Obp, Slg, Ops - .337, .403, .470, .874

Never won a WS. Best season was 1911 when he hit .388 with a VORP of 101.3.
