泰‧柯布 (Ty Cobb) 於1927718日打出第四千支安打

因為泰柯布是在喬治亞州的奈羅斯 (Narrows) 出生,所以人們幫他取了個外號為「喬治亞桃子」 (George Peach) 。除了是一個偉大的打擊者之外,柯布也是一個積極的球員。他曾經盜回本壘50次,得過12次打擊率冠軍,同時在擔任中間手時,也同時擔任底特律老虎隊的經理達六個球季之久。雖然人們對他真正的打擊率有不同的數據,但是在他23年的棒球生涯裡,平均打擊率至少有三成。這張照片中有兩個棒球史上最偉大的打擊手:泰柯布與喬伊傑克森 (Joe Jackson) 。傑克森在1915年被賣到白襪隊 (White Sox) ,他的平均打擊率是三成五六。這兩個球員後來都被指控牽涉醜聞。你知道他們做了什麼嗎?


Ty Cobb's nickname was the "Georgia Peach" because he was born in Narrows, Georgia. Besides being a great player, Cobb was a fierce competitor. He stole home 50 times, won 12 batting average titles, and managed the Detroit Tigers for six seasons while also playing centerfield. There's some debate about the exact figure for his lifetime batting average, but for 23 years he batted at least .300. In this photo, there are two of the greatest hitters in baseball--Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson. Traded to the White Sox in 1915, Jackson averaged .356. Both players were involved in scandal. Do you know what they did?
