ESPN's Hall of 100 -- Ranking the all-time greatest MLB players
Ty Cobb
Ty Cobb, CF
Career: 1905-28, Tigers, Athletics
Fun fact: Highest career average (.366)
While he won't win any "Good Guy" awards, Cobb was one of baseball's greatest, winning 11 batting titles, stealing 897 bases and finishing with a record .366 average.
He was so respected as a player that Cobb received more Hall of Fame votes than Babe Ruth. And he was so disliked as a person that biographer Al Stump said only three people from baseball showed at his funeral. --Jim Caple
