**Tyrus Raymond Cobb: "The Georgia Peach"
Born: December 18, 1886, Narrows, Georgia.
"The best there ever was."
White Racist Ty Cobb was the best baseball player of all time.
More importantly, Cobb was an outspoken forerunner of White Nationalism in America.
Get that n***er off the field.
Cobb's threat to owners that he would quit the game is the main reason n****rs were kept in their own league, outside and away from White Man's baseball.
Cobb beat up dozens of belligerent, smartass n****rs with his bare hands.
Cobb ridiculed feminists.
He nicknamed part-n*r Babe Ruth "n*rlips."
He always had his gun handy.
Race-mixing, n****r-loving media and book writers absolutely hate Cobb, more than any other sports figure.
He was the best. He's one of us. We LUV him.
Cobb holds more records than the next ten best players combined.
He was also the smartest baseball player of all time.
He has the highest career batting average in all of baseball: .367.
At the age of 20 years and 9 months, he became the youngest player to win a batting title.
At age 41 he batted .320 and stole home plate.
"I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him. He was the greatest all time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing." - Casey Stengel
"In 1936, in the first balloting for the Hall of Fame, Cobb received the most votes (222 of 226), outpolling Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson.
The Georgia Peach was a southern Protestant who hated northerners, Catholics, blacks and apparently anybody else who was different from him.
Cobb was a 6-foot-1, 175-pounder who threw right (average arm) and batted left. He kept his hands about three inches apart so he could place hits better. When he retired in 1928, he had set some 90 records. Seven decades later, he still holds many. Nobody has yet bettered his .367 lifetime average, his 12 batting titles, his hitting at least .320 for 23 consecutive seasons, or his 2,245 runs scored.
"His resumé of accomplishments reads like "The Twelve Days of Christmas:" He led the American League in slugging percentage and hits eight times, in steals six, in runs five, in triples and RBI four, in doubles three, and in homers once. Three times he batted above .400 and in one four-year span he averaged .401. Gone, though, is the treasured record of 4,191 hits, broken by Pete Rose 57 years later." (1)
The most fearsome, exacting and difficult feat in baseball is stealing home plate.
Cobb did it 54 times.
Cobb stole home at age 41.
By comparison, modern base-stealing (n****r-monkeys) Lou Brock and Rickey Henderson, have only stolen home 7 times, combined.
Cobb stole second, third, and then home plate during the same inning, four times. (2)
"He was such a great base thief that often, after stealing second, he would proceed directly to third as the throw came in behind him and gain an extra base. A young catcher once asked a veteran backstop what he should do when Cobb broke from first to second - "Throw to third," came the reply." (3)
How did Cobb play the game? See pictures of Cobb's base-running style here--stealing home.

Cobb was an uncompromsing hardcore White racist. Far from ever backing down, he went straight after 'em, he beat their brains in.
TYRUS RAYMOND COBB thusly joins our PANTHEON OF WHITE NATIONALIST HEROES.

That's impossible! How can this evil, racist, Southern White man be the best? Surely it must be Jackie Robinson, or Sandy Koufax! ;)

Ty Cobb was certainly one of the greatest players of all time, and as evidenced by Faust's article, quite a character!
When old folks say that "They don't make 'em like they used to", in reference to athletes, it's really not their ability they are talking about, but their characer. Today, you've either got rampaging Negroes (Mike Tyson, Rae Carruth), or bland, unassuming, humble corporate spokesmen whose most controversial stance is on the best sports-drink. Nobody is 'genuine' (unless they're a genuine savage) in pro sports today....which is why I think collegiate sports are infinitely better (although they are still far from perfect, and I don't think I can EVER accept Syracuse or Boston College being part of the ACC).

Ole Ty, who once knifed a black for speaking to him disrespectfully, was probably nuts.
He never got over the death of his father. His dad, who was the school commissioner for the county, I believe it was , suspected Ty's mom of infidelity and announced that he was leaving on an overnight trip one day.
That night he surrepticiously crept back into the house via a bedroom window. It was his surmise that she would assume in the darkness that it was her paramour and greet him with the according endearments.
Instead she shot him dead.
Local folks, it is said, knew of her dalliance and believed that the killing - ruled accidental - was done on purpose.
Ty built a statue to his dad and shunned Mom thereafter.

My maternal gradmother's three husbands all died before she did. The last one, she made all us call him "Mr. Reese," was a big sports fan who didn't think Ty Cobb was the greatest baseball player of all time. He thought Honus Wagner was. He told me all about the World Series of 1909, when the Pittsburgh Pirates played the Detroit Tigers, and how the bash Mr. Cobb told all the newspaper reporters that he'd take the old man out if Wagner got in his way.
The newspapers, of course, played it up with Cobb doing all the talking and Wagner saying nothing. Well, in the first inning of the opening game, Cobb hit a single and began cursing out Wagner the shortstop. When Cobb attempted to steal second base, Wagner tagged him out by smacking him in the mouth with the baseball. Cobb, according to Mr. Reese, was spitting blood all over the infield. Cobb stayed in the game, though, have to give him credit, but itt stopped his bad-mouthing of Wagner.
Mr. Reese also witnessed the World Series of 1927, when the Pirates played the Yankees, then known as "Murderers Row," Ruth and Gehrig, guys like that. He said the series was over before it started, the crowd sitting in awed silence while the Yankess took batting practice, driving ball after ball into the fartherst reaches of Forbes Field. The Pirates lost four straight games.

Mr. Cobb had his priorities. War was not one of them.
**Ty Cobb, the outfielder of the Detroit Tigers and holder of the highest career batting average of all time, was giving patriotic speeches in early 1918 threatening to kick the Germans all the way back to Berlin. Mr. Cobb played the abbreviated baseball season of 1918 and sailed for France in October of 1918. In the combat zone of France for all of one month Mr. Cobb did not see much of war, but one is entitled to wonder if the Germans felt threatened by his presence. **
Honus Wagner was a big Dutchman with enormous hands who probably would have killed Cobb if given a chance
