Ty Cobb came into the major leagues, at 18-years-old - in his first of 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers - with a bang, doubling in his first at bat against the visiting New York Highlanders (later nicknamed Yankees) on August 30, 1905, just over three weeks after his mother shot his father to death, saying she mistook his father for a prowler. Hall of Famer Cobb went out, however, with a whimper, the 41- year old facing winning hurler Hank Johnson and popping out to shortstop on his final career at bat in a September 11, 1928, game at Yankee Stadium against the Yankees. The Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics were in a neck-and-neck pennant race, and 50,000 fans were at Yankee Stadium. Cobb did not start the game. Babe Ruth (HOF) hit a two-run home run (#465) in the bottom of the 8th for the Yankees off Lefty Grove (HOF), the Athletics' starter and losing pitcher. Cobb came to bat in the top of the 9th inning, as a pinch hitter for Jimmy Dykes. Cobb did not play any more MLB official games after this. Hall of Fame Athletics manager Connie Mack went with younger players in an attempt to beat out the Yankees for first place, but the attempt fell short as the Athletics, with an outstanding record of 98-55, still fell short of the pennant winning New Yorkers, who went 101-53, 2.5 games ahead. Cobb still finished his season hitting .323 for the Athletics. Other Hall of Famers playing in Cobb's last game were: For the Athletics -  Mickey Cochrane, who had three hits in the game, Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, and Lefty Grove; For the Yankees - Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri. plus HOF manager Miller Huggins.
