Have you ever wondered how he went from this little punch-and-judy hitter whom the Twins released to being “Big Papi”?

Simple answer in three letters.

Womanizers and drunks, and Cobb from all accounts was an ass - but man they could play ball....and not juiced, unless alcohol counts...

As a baseball player who went as far as Div I college ball, I don’t think a DH should ever be in the hall of fame. Baseball was designed so you have to play defense and offense, the DH rule sucks.

Last time I checked Babe and Ty Cobb played defense. That is the issue, and PED.
