Why? I have no wish to denigrate the legendary Honus Wagner but Ty Cobb's lifetime batting average and OPS of .388 and .944 were higher than Honus Wagner's marks of .328 and .862 respectively. Moreover Ty Cobb's record for lifetime hits wasn't broken until Pete Rose did so in 1985. Finally Ty Cobb is still #4 (#3 under the present day definition) in the all-important category of stolen bases.
