What would Ty Cobb do against the shift? (Press box question, about 1960: "What would Ty Cobb bat against today's pitchers?" Answer, from a writer who had seen Cobb: "He'd probably hit about .315" Response from questioner: "That's all?" Answer, "Well, Cobb is about 72 this year")

See, of course, Leerhsen's biography of Cobb.
