Cobb was similar to Wade Boggs. He was a big guy who could hit for power, but chose not to.

I was very encouraged with the power in the second game. Nick had a couple of nice hits in game two and did a nice job at third base defensively for us.

It's expensive to produce and hardest to deliver power at those times.

That created a whole landslide of Cobb-hating and piling on. That was the last 10 months of Cobb's life. I think if any of us were portrayed in the last 10 months of life, when we were ravaged by disease, we would not come across very well.

He can be a hard fellow to figure out. It's his unpredictability that helps make him so fascinating.

Jack Chesbro was one of the best pitchers in the game at that time. He was known for his spitball. Cobb took the first pitch. Then he hit next pitch into the left-center gap.
