Cobb and Speaker were allegedly involved in a 1919 game "fixed" game. There was never enough evidence to prove it but coming after the banishment of the Sox 8, BB would have been in deeper doo doo. Then along came the Babe.
After 714, the indelible numbers of my yoot were Cobb's .367 and 4191. Then some geek came along said "not so fast" that they were really .366 and 4190. Still too hard to accept.
Cobb was of course was continually iinvolved in controversy. One of my favorites was the attempted conspiracy in 1910 to deprive him of the batting title and give it to Lajoie. bunt, bunt, bunt, etc.
