I saw an episode of “You Bet Your Life” where Groucho had Casey Stengel on as a contestant.

Of course Groucho who was a long time baseball fan, talked baseball with Casey. One question he asked was “who was the greatest player of all time”. Casey responded “Tyrus Raymond Cobb, no one else was even close”.

Groucho agreed with him and then asked how he thought Cobb would do against then current pitchers. Stengel said Cobb would hit around .270. Groucho then said something like well that is not all that good. Casey said “well you have to remember that Cobb is over 70 years old”.
