Babe Ruth's wife dated Ty Cobb. She said that Cobb was a greater baseball player than Ruth but Ruth was a nicer person.. Truth is that Ruth was a big kid who ate drank and screwed women with no real regard for the consequences. Even after he married and "settled down' he still regularly cheated on his wife. Ruth was the greatest all round baseball player and no one is even close. Shotani is not on the same level as Ruth. Ruth is the only Hall of Fame hitter and pitcher. Cobb didn't like Ruth's style of play. He thought the way he played made for a better baseball game. Get a single, then steal, then steal then steal (even home base). He thought that was more interesting and exciting than just swing the bat and hit the ball over the fences. Cobb once announced in ythat for one week he will try to hit home runs. What he did that week no one ever has done. But Ruth's way of hitting home runs ended up being the future. Here is what happened when Cobb wanted to go for the long ball. Home runs were simply not part of Cobb’s game. By 1925, now 38 years old and player-manager for the Tigers, Cobb may have lost a step or two, but he was still a magician with the bat in his hands. His baseball team, however, had limped out of the gate. A 4-14 start had the fans groaning. That is where the Tigers’ record stood on the morning of May 5, 1925. That day, and the next, Ty Cobb put on the finest offensive display in his great career. And he did it with power. Detroit was in Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis, to take on the Browns. The game of the 5th, a Tuesday, Cobb batted six times, with six hits. He also scored four runs and batted in five. But the big surprise was his three home runs. His other extra-base hit that day was a double, giving him 16 total bases, establishing a new modern major league record (the mark has since been tied, and broken, by several players; Shawn Green now holds the big league mark with 19). His three bombs tied him with four other players for the most in a modern-day game (One of the other players was Babe Ruth himself, a fact which must have tickled Cobb to no end.). Incidentally, the Tigers won the game, 14-8. But Cobb’s hitting spree was far from over. In the next day’s game, also in St. Louis, he went 3-for-6, with two runs scored and six RBIs. He also clouted two more home runs. His five homers in two consecutive games was something that had never been done before, not even by the Bambino. It is a mark that has not been eclipsed to this day, although it has been equaled by 28 players. Cobb’s two-day output reads thus: nine hits in 12 at-bats (.750), six runs, one double, five homers, 11 RBIs, 25 total bases. His nine hits were made consecutively. On the negative side of the ledger, he was caught stealing once. The Tigers also won the second game by a score of 11-4. Of course, the footnote to the tale is that, just prior to the first game, Cobb was sitting in the dugout with a reporter and pointed out, “I’ll show you something today. I’m going for home runs for the first time in my career.” Whether the story is apocryphal or not, it makes for a great legend. It also proves that Cobb could indeed hit the long ball when he felt like it. The next day, however, having proved his point, Cobb went right back to his old style. He did not hit another home run until June 2. He finished with 12 homers in 1925, equaling his career-high. But for at least two days in the middle of the new Home Run Era, Ty Cobb was just as powerful as the great Babe Ruth.

Elvis created the life he wanted! Lots of disrespect! Personality strife squabbles. Leads to confusion & every evil work! Peace prevails! There r better ways to work situations out!

It is called being human. & called carnal life!

Elvis always had people around him but in the end he died all alone in a bathroom.

Best ever. Played game how it was meant to be played

Now I understand why Ty Cobb charged money for his autograph. Probably thought the fans would flip his signature on ebay.

Newman should of won the academy award but gave it to guys that kiss the elites ass like the guy who won, steiger

Liars and leeches all of them .Dislike everyone of them

This didn't age well for these "Men"

.366 lifetime avg, beyond insane, no player will ever come within 20 points of that, ever….

why don’t they tell the story where they all lived off of him and took their wives to fancy restaurants etc. on elvis’ tab while he was cooped in the hotel preparing for the next show unable to join them

He is the goat

Poor Ty. As of May 28, 2024, his lifetime batting average of .367 is no longer tops as it has been since his retirement in 1928. It has been exceeded by Josh Gibson's .372, even though he had far fewer league plate appearances (13103 to 2526).

He was the best pure baseball player to ever play. Period.

I think his lifetime batting average is one record that will never be broken!!!! .367

To speak ill of the dead is rude. To speak ill of a lifelong friend who has passed says everything I need to know about these people.

2nd best ever who is better 🤣

So Cobb what would you have it with todays pitchers “ I’d say .280” Only .280? “ yah well IM 72 “ -Cobb

The Terry Funk of Baseball

1:48 1:58 😂😂

Pete Rose was the same kind of player.

He's my number 2 as well.

Adrian, you edited this perfectly. Excellent work. Thank you.🩷

30 second watch and done

They are all wankers. The only ones that were ever negative.

Howard was only laughing so hard because he knew it was making Gary mad 😂😂😂😂😂😂

gary was acting like a little b!tch here, that made me lose more respect for him than his horrible pitch.

Cobb best ever.

Knowing elvis wasnt all fun for these guys,and Priscilla taking alot of criticism it has to be hurtful when you go through alot with the person you love

Mollycoddles? What about LOLLYGAGGERS?

He verbally supported the integration of the game. Poor research.

7:57 this guy thinks he’s tough😂😂 what a clown.

Cheap ehot on elvis he derved better.these guys would say anything to get paid.

Not even close.

tout ça ces des salades de gars qui vivaient ensemblent ces obligés qu' il y est des trucs pareils jalousie entrent eux rancoeurs frustration et leurs femmes trompé après des semaines de tournées. Car leurs femmes étaient à vegas le 1er soir mais après elle devaient rentré au bercail sans compté des tas de trucs douteux mêmes inavouables chez eux . Non je pense qu' Elvis avait trops de gents autours de lui je suis sur qu' il était content d être seule avec lui même quand l occasion ce présentait. De plus je pense que trops d amis ces sources d ennuies. Sans être Elvis je me suis toujours protégé des autres pour avoir la paix. justes mes filles mon épouse mes chiens .

Nothing anyone could say would diminish my love for Elvis. ❤️❤️❤️

Elvis i believe was not perfect , his own worst enemy in many ways , yes i believe he had a bad temper but you know i think he was a good person living a life few could cope with , until you have walked in his shoes dont judge , he gave and gave until there was nothing left !!!😏🇬🇧

Bande de pourris

Elvis was a fallible human being. People need to stop making out like he was some Prophet who walked on water... as it was HE who also said "he was NOT King... Jesus Christ was." I love and loved Elvis like everyone else however, making Elvis out to be somebody who did NO WRONG... & did NOT have a temper & did NOT use it etc. is doing a disservice to HIM and everyone else! Did these guys speak out when they maybe should not have? Possibly, but they ALSO are fallible human beings & a person can only take so much from Elvis Presley or whomever... people need to stop putting Elvis on a pedestal! He does not belong up there and he would be the first to agree! It gets tiring hearing how "perfect" Elvis was when he wasn't! No one can live up to THAT and maybe that was ONE of the reasons WHY Elvis did not have long to live on this Earth. As Elvis said himself... "the image is one thing and the human being is another" and "it's hard to live up to an image" and that's what Elvis was, an image, but also a human being.

I always thought that Elvis was very gross.🤪

The sharpened spikes was a dirty lie. He was often employed a variety of slides to avoid contact, including different approach angles and kicking up dirt so opposing infielders couldn't see his approach to make the tag.

Personally, I rate him fourth behind Ruth, Mays, and Aaron (in that order), but if he's not on your shortlist, you're doing it wrong.

These guys were creeps!!!

2nd best my ass, look at the record book bud. You follow the mainstream bandwagon nut licking crowd of Ruth. Who was voted into the hall of fame first ? Ruth was a winner but he was a sloppy role model . He’s first in other categories but the BEST in Baseball. Your subliminal bs about labeling this video Cobb, 2nd best is a complete JOKE.

Had a black daddy

What a bunch of disgusting individuals…. You sure took his money and and all he gave you. How dare they try and demean Elvis. 😡

Omg Gary made it so much worse on Jimmy’s show.

I love the way the narrator turns himself into a hypocrite, he wasnt talented compared to todays players? Then they say the next breath, that he showed great amount of talent! And how does he know how good Ty Cobb was? There’s no tape of him even playing, except the blurry old black and white 2 taping they have on him! He also adored Willie Mays amd said “He was the only player in professional baseball worth a shit” lol so there goes his racist antics that’s we’ve all been bread to believe!

I wonder what those pictures were of.

Except for RED, I think all these guys are now dead.
