I prefer Cobb to Ruth, I like Cobbs mystique, passion for the game, and that he was/is misunderstood. His teammates didn't like him but they respected him, baseball was not a popularity contest for Cobb, it was a burning passion to win.

He was a smart businessman and also generous.

The non profit hospital he started in 1950 has grown to what is now the Ty Cobb Healthcare System, a private self supporting nonprofit health care organization consisting of Cobb Memorial Hospital, Cobb Terrace Personal Care Center, Brown Memorial Convalescent Center, Cobb Health Care Center, Home Base Health Services, Cobb Center, Inc., and Hart County Hospital.

And he has some of the best looking baseball cards...
