In the middle of the dead-ball era, Cobb only needed nine home runs to lead MLB in 1909. Tris Speaker of the Boston Red Sox and Red Murray of the New York Giants were the closest competitors to the eventual Hall of Fame outfielder with seven. Cobb also led all of baseball in batting average and RBIs. After a 24-year career, Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot in 1936.
