Title
English: Ty Cobb with boy, Seattle, ca. 1922
Description
English:

Ty Cobb, "The Georgia Peach," was considered one of the greatest batters in baseball with a .367 career batting average. He had a long professional career playing for the Detroit Tigers from 1905 to 1926 and finished up his last two years with the Philadelphia Athletics from 1927 to 1928. Well-known for his fierce competitive attitude and quips, he maintained that he wasn't a super athlete but instead had an intense desire to win. In this photograph from around the early 1920s, Ty Cobb is helping a youngster with a bat at a game in Seattle.
