Default We All Know That Ty Cobb Is In the HOF...

Posted By: barrysloate

I don't think Cobb's personality was an issue when he was inducted. With today's steroid users, it's not a moral issue, but an ethical and legal one. McGwire didn't get 23% of the vote because he was moody or a bad teammate; he was basically booted out because he cheated. Cobb was not well liked, his teammates pretty much hated him, but he played by the rules (save a few spikes flying now and then).
