Ty Cobb

Ty Cobb stole home to highlight his Detroit Tigers conquest of the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 2 of the 1909 World Series. Cobb’s baserunning proficiency is well documented and world famous, but this display, on the game’s biggest stage, was more than just another feather in “The Georgia Peach’s” cap. Famously, Cobb still holds the record for stealing home, with a jaw-dropping 54 successful instances of the brazen baserunning feat.
