Williams was a seventeen-time All-Star, a two-time recipient of the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player Award, a six-time AL batting champion, and a two-time Triple Crown winner. He finished his playing career with a .344 batting average, 521 home runs, and a 0.482 on-base percentage, the highest of all time. His batting average is the highest of any MLB player with 302 or more home runs. Born and raised in San Diego, Williams played baseball throughout his youth. Joining the Red Sox in 1939, he immediately emerged as one of the sport's best hitters. In 1941, Williams posted a .406 batting average, making him the last MLB player to bat over .400 in a season.
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.
