Ty Cobb
Speed is a great asset but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.
Ty Cobb
The first time I faced him I watched him take that easy windup and then something went past me that made me flinch. The thing just hissed with danger. We couldn't touch him... Every one of us knew we'd met the most powerful arm ever turned loose in a ball park.
