That was pretty funny...and you can't really argue with any of it.

Great stuff! They started with Canseco, and I thought "HE'S not #1????" :eektf: He's #11??? And then each one gets worse and worse.

Know what's funny? I bleeped the naughty word in the headline, and I just noticed it's in the URL. :rofl:

By the way, that's the first time I ever heard about Bonds and Sheffield. WTF!?

[TyCobb]

I only read the Ty Cobb part, and most of it is false. Well not 100% the truth. Supposely the man he beat with no hands deserved what he got because the teammates (who mainly hated Cobb) actually wanted him back on the field. The sharping of the spikes is also a rumor that Cobb himself said he didn't question when he played because the fear in the fielders gave him an edge (no pun intended)

The Bonds and Sheffield thing was in Sports Illustrated in 05 IIRC. Bonds was also going through Sheff's mail.

"I don't care if he's got no feet!" Ty Cobb...

Ty Cobb Beats Up a Man With No Hands

On May 15, 1912, in New York's Highland Park, the Detroit Tigers were playing the hometown New York Highlanders. In the stands behind home plate was a Highlander fan named Claude Lueker who was giving Detroit's Ty Cobb a tough time. A really tough time. According to spectators who were in the stands that day, Lueker hurled insults and epithets at Cobb every time the Georgia Peach came to the plate.

By the end of the fifth inning, Cobb warned the Highlanders manager and the umpires that if the man wasn't ejected from the game, there was going to be some serious trouble. Nothing was done to the rambunctious fan, and so when he called the notoriously racist Cobb a "half-******" in the bottom of the sixth inning, the ferocious outfielder climbed into the crowded stands, leapt upon the man and began beating him senseless.

Other fans began pleading with Cobb to stop the physical attack because the foul-mouthed Mr. Lueker had no hands. He had apparently lost them years earlier in an industrial accident. As the crowd pleaded, Ty Cobb responded as he pummeled the man, "I don't care if he's got no feet!"

Ty Cobb was a selfless humanitarian, and he baked the most delicious cakes.

Ty Cobb also killed a man in a fight in an alley, according to his biographer.

I think he is on a totally different plane from these other pikers. Cobb was a titanic figure.

Yeah, not to mention the time he choked the groundskeepers wife :rolleyestf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ty_Cobb

Freaking psycho.

I heard a rumor that Ty Cobb once refused to room with Babe Ruth, because he heard Ruth had "black blood." The question I have is, why would a Red Sox/Yankees player be rooming with a Tigers player anyway?
