Did Ty Cobb really have 9 consecutive AL batting titles?
I was good friends in high school with the son of the Sporting News historian mentioned in that article. For several weeks after the article ran in the Sporting News, their dinners were interrupted by sportswriters from around the country wanting to interview him. He also did some research for Charley Finley when he was battling with Bowie Kuhn in his attempt to keep control of the Oakland A's. Finley never did pay him for his effort (didn't get it in writing.)
