Ty Cobb Baseball's Past

OL'E TY COBB OF YESTER YEAR, WAS A GENIUS IN SPIKES, OR SO I HEAR. HE RAN THE BASES WITH A BURST OF SPEED. LIKE ADRENALINE JUNKY IN TIME OF NEED. STOLE SECOND BASE WITH HIS FOOT HELD HIGH. A SERIOUS THREAT TO SPIKE ONES EYE. LIT UP THE CHARTS, WITH ALL HIS STATS. TRIPLE CROWN WINNER AND THATS A FACT. NINETEEN-ELEVEN (1911), COBB SET THE PACE. WITH A FOUR-TWENTY(.420) AVERAGE, HE STOLE EIGHTY-THREE (83) BASE. LED THE LEAGUE IN TRIPLES FOUR (4)TIMES. HOMERUN KING NINETEEN-O-NINE (1909). CHECK HIS STATS, HE LED THEM ALL. THAT TY COBB COULD PLAY BASEBALL. THIRTEEN THOUSAND-0- SEVEN-EIGHT(13,078). NUMBER OF APPEARANCES MADE AT THE PLATE. DON'T FORGET THE BASE ON BALL. TWELVE-FORTY-NINE (1,249)AND THAT'S NOT ALL. FOURTY-ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX (4,186)HITS. THE RESULTS OF THE WAY HE SWUNG THAT STICK. BATTING CHAMP ELEVEN (11) DIFFERENT TIMES. WON NINETEEN TWELEVE (1912)WITH A FOUR-O-NINE (409). LED EIGHT TIMES, IN TOTAL WITH HITS. LED STOLEN BASES WITH A TOTAL OF SIX. EIGHT-NINETY-TWO (892)TOTAL STOLEN BASES. IMAGINE THE LOOK ON THOSE CATCHERS FACES. TWENTY-TWO-HUNDRED FORTY-SIX RUNS. AFTER TWENTY-FOUR SEASONS, HIS CAREER WAS DONE. HE ONLY STRUCK OUT SIX-EIGHTY(680) TIMES. OVER TWENTY-FOUR SEASONS, THAT BLOWS MY MIND. HALL OF FAMER, THATS A FACT. WITH HIS NINETEEN-THIRTY-SIX HALL OF FAME PLAQUE. GEORGIA PEACH IS DEAD AND DONE. JULY SEVENTEEN SIXTY-ONE. A A HUNDRED YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE, THAT TY COBB LEGEND, STILL LIVES ON.
