Ty Cobb, along with Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, is universally regarded as one of the best baseball players to ever take the field. The first player to be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cobb set 90 Major League Baseball records over the course of his career.
[fusion_title size=”4″]DETROIT TIGERS ALL-TIME ROSTER[/fusion_title]
In his 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Cobb amassed 144.7 wins above replacement — far and way the highest total of the franchise’s all-time roster by WAR. The team’s other biggest contributions came from outfielder Al Kaline (92.5) and second baseman Charlie Gehringer (80.6).
The Tigers are one of the only MLB teams with two active players making the team — a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that the franchise has been in operation since 1901.
