#2. Ty Cobb
Cobb is known as one of the most intense and by some as one of the dirtiest players to have ever lived. Cobb is second all time in hits (4191), 4th all time in steals (892), all team leader in batting average (.367), 2nd all time in triples (297), 2nd all time in runs (2245), and 7th all time in RBI (1938). Added to his incredible numbers was his intensity. Many claimed that Cobb would steal bases with his spikes up towards the defenders legs (also depicted this way in a statue in Comerica Park in Detroit. Cobb was accused of being racist and many other things that make us cringe. Despite his questionable character, Cobb is undeniably the second best baseball player ever.
