泰.柯布 (Ty Cobb) 于1927718日打出第四千支安打

因为泰柯布是在乔治亚州的奈罗斯 (Narrows) 出生,所以人们帮他取了个外号为「乔治亚桃子」 (George Peach) 。除了是一个伟大的打击者之外,柯布也是一个积极的球员。他曾经盗回本垒50次,得过12次打击率冠军,同时在担任中间手时,也同时担任底特律老虎队的经理达六个球季之久。虽然人们对他真正的打击率有不同的数据,但是在他23年的棒球生涯里,平均打击率至少有三成。这张照片中有两个棒球史上最伟大的打击手:泰柯布与乔伊杰克森 (Joe Jackson) 。杰克森在1915年被卖到白袜队 (White Sox) ,他的平均打击率是三成五六。这两个球员后来都被指控牵涉丑闻。你知道他们做了什么吗?


Ty Cobb's nickname was the "Georgia Peach" because he was born in Narrows, Georgia. Besides being a great player, Cobb was a fierce competitor. He stole home 50 times, won 12 batting average titles, and managed the Detroit Tigers for six seasons while also playing centerfield. There's some debate about the exact figure for his lifetime batting average, but for 23 years he batted at least .300. In this photo, there are two of the greatest hitters in baseball--Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson. Traded to the White Sox in 1915, Jackson averaged .356. Both players were involved in scandal. Do you know what they did?
