Top 10 Tarnished Baseball Reputations Ty Cobb may have been the best baseball player of all-time, but there is little doubt that he was the dirtiest. Cobb was the leading vote getter on the inaugural Hall of Fame ballot (above Babe Ruth), set 90 MLB records during his career, and still has the high career batting average (.367). But Cobb's legacy as a great player is overshadowed by his style of play and off-field issues. Cobb was known for sliding with his spikes up when he stole bases, when he sharpened to intentionally cause fielders to bleed, but those were the smaller of the Cobb controversies. He was a known fighter on and off the field -- one time he fought umpire Billy Evans after a game.

- You don't want to see what that water looks like under a microscope. In Durham we can water only on Wed and Sat 5-9 A or P with a max of one inch per week. I don't water my lawn at all, but I do water the gardens (I spent too much money to allow the plants to die). I'm also putting in a rain barrel or 2 so I can water with that instead. Also going to be more careful about what I use inside.
