Answering The Mail: No one
else in major league baseball
has ever come close to being
hated like Ty Cobb of the
Detroit Tigers, who had a
lifetime batting average of .367,
and hit above .300 for 23 con
secutive seasons.

him, especially the Bengal
catcher, Charley Schmidt. He
and Ty had so many fights that
everybody lost count of the
brawls. Fisticuffs with rival
players occurred frequently.
Cobb thrived on booing from
the fans, and responded with
spectacular performances
when opposing managers and
players foolishly heckled him.
Most of them wised up to this,
and bellowed only if he in
furiated them.
Back in 1910, when Ty and
Larry Lajoie of the Cleveland
Indians were neck and neck for
the American League batting
crown, all or some of the St.
Louis Browns acted in collusion
to deprive Cobb of the honor.
Cieveland was playing in St.
Louis on the final day of the
season. Nothing was at stake
except the batting crowm, since

the Indians were mired in fifth
place, and the Browns were
wallowing in eighth.
John O’Connor, manager of
the Browns, started Red
Corriden, a rookie up from
Omaha, at third base.
Respecting Lajoie’s power,
Corriden played deep the first
time the Frenchman came up.
Lajoie laid down a bunt, and
beat it out with ease. Red
decided to {day the Cleveland
star shallow, when he came up
again, but Manager O’Connor
waved him back, and kept him
back. Lajoie beat out bunts all
afternoon.
The case was so flagrant that,
after the season closed,
Corriden was called to Chicago
by League President Ban
Johnson. The rookie third
baseman, who later would
coach outstandingly for the
Cubs, Dodgeu and Yankees
told it iike it was.
Johnson took no official ac
tion, but the Brownie manager
never again was connected with
organized ball. I'ncidentally,
those gift hits given Lajoie still
didn’t cheat Cobb out of the
batting crown.
Final averages showed Ty
with a .385 mark, and Lajoie at
.384. Cobb also won a brand new
Chalmers automobile that had
been promised the victor.
