I like Cobb because the guy was a real ball player capable of playing in any time. I'm not sure anyone doubts that. Maybe he doesn't still hit 366 today but he would still outhit everybody else. He also played the game the way you'd want your son to play; with his head down and his spikes out.
He also clearly loved baseball in the same way that Rickey Henderson loved baseball. Ty played through age 41 and still hit 323 even in his final season.
