I hope you will forgive me for adding details that you probably read but did not mention.  The article I think you were refferring to did not end there.  It contunued"

" AL president Ban Johnson quickly summoned O'Connor, Howell, and Corriden to his office. Johnson later ruled that nothing dishonest had gone on, but O'Connor and Howell were soon chased out of the major leagues. Corriden, because he was a rookie, was absolved of any wrong doing and continued his career.

When the official averages were announced, The Sporting News cleared the controversy by naming Cobb the winner with a .3850687 average to Lajoie's .3840947. In a great public relations move, Chalmers made both Cobb and Lajoie fans happy by awarding each player a car.

But perhaps the Chalmers Automobile Co. also had a favorite player. "I've always understood," Lajoie said later of the incident, "that the automobile I got ran a lot better than the one they gave to Ty."

The story doesn't end there. More than 70 years later, The Sporting News historian Paul MacFarlane discovered Cobb was mistakenly credited with two hits during the season, which would give the batting crown to Lajoie. However, then baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn refused to take Cobb's 1910 batting title away, thereby preserving his string of nine consecutive AL batting titles. "

So Cobb kept the batting title by the known statistics of the time, but Lajolie should have won in later evaluation.

That does not change my opinion of Cobb as a person (disgusting) or as a player (one of the best). 

I am confused though, as I thought Hornsby had a great reputation as an honest but tough player.  What didn't Ken Burns tell us about him?  I mean, JUST when I was about to reluctantly switch from Cobb to Hornsby, you mention he wasn't so great either.

I completely agree that Cobb was a raging crazy racist nutcase, but maybe the best baseball player ever.  In sports, you often have to separate the player from the play, but I you understand what I mean. 

Just, well, who ever played with more skill?
Clearly, Cobb is one of the best players of all time.  He is even better than some think.  Prior to Ruth, home runs were not worshiped as they are today.  In fact, Cobb did not hide his disdain for them; at one point in the late teens, he went on a homer tear and suggested he could them at that rate all he wanted, but chose to go for hits and not homers.  In any case, he was one of the best.  Yet, I'd put several above him--Ruth, Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Bonds, maybe Musial and possibly Trout when his career is done. He was a great great hitter, good baserunner and just a touch above an average fielder.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

I don't mind the attempt to trash this special string (localized for y'all's convenience/avoid annoyance).  I enjoy your baseball talk.

Why trash this string?  Because it is true.
