As the game of baseball changed, Ty Cobb stuck to his roots as a strategic batter. He always followed the philosophy of hit the ball where the opponents aren't. With the introduction of the lively ball in 1920 a new type of hitter was born. This was the home run hitter. Fans loved and still love these high fly out of the ball park hitters. Ty Cobb was not as impressed as the fans in the stands with the home run hitters. He stuck to the beliefs that the baseball was won through strategy. Was/Is Ty Cobb right? Are home run hitters baseball's most valuable offensive players or are they perhaps overrated?
