Default Ty Cobb- Would He Have Gotten Into the Hall in 1929

Posted By: Mark L

One version of the scandal is that Cobb bet on his own team. But what if he bet against his club or, as Joe Wood said Speaker did, threw some games? This would mean that he laid down and didn't add to his own great record. This can be distinguished from taking illicit drugs that enable certain modern players to gain an unnatural advantage.
