How Cobb Played the Game

Part 6: His Lifetime Statistics


There remains some confusion as to what exactly some of Cobb's final numbers are. Scorekeepers and statisticians were not as conscientious and accurate 70 years ago as they are today, thus some of the numbers that have been associated with Cobb over the years (4191, .367, 892, 12 batting titles, 9 consecutively), have since been revised by the statistorians at Total Baseball. The statistics below reflect the numbers in Total Baseball, Second Edition, the recognized authority for statistics. Bold face indicates league leader. Below his career totals are his career ranks, when among the top ten. Complete strikeout and caught stealing statistics were not kept during some years, and thus those career totals are incomplete and underlined.
