Asked in the '50s what he thought he could hit against modern pitchers, Cobb responded that he would hit around .310. Why that low? he was asked. "Well, you have to remember. I'm 72 years old now." The competitive fire that stoked the man until the day he died is reflected in this marvelous 1921 photo of him swinging his hit-loaded bat, eyes burning as they follow the ball through the air. Cobb signed the photo "Ty Cobb 6/21/52" in blue pen, a crystal clear signature grading 9/10. 8 x 10" photo is EX-MT.
