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

Posted By: peter chao

You know as well as I do that in order to continue practicing law you need to have a thick skin. You are going to quit practicing before me because my skin is thicker than yours.

I know you have doubts that the Georgia Peach is a first tier HOFamer. After all, he probably bypassed third base more than a few times on his way towards home plate.

Well, with Barry there's absolutely no doubt that he's a first tier HOFamer. You could subtract 3 MVPs from his career for cheating and he would still have 4 which is more than any player ever.

You could also subtract 300 HRs and 100 stolen bases from his career and he will still be the only player to ever hit over 400 HRs and steal over 400 bases.

Sounds like a first tier HOFamer to me. Now if he was a racist he would be on the same tier as Cobb.
