Poor Feller, I hope his career is not defined by one game

I have Jesse Burkett still hanging on in 1913 as the Cubs LF/RF backup and he spent 2 years in the American Association

He is currently 4th in career BA with .346 and is at 2,932 hits behind Cap Anson of course and Ed Delahanty with 3,007 and Wee Willie Keeler at 3,005

Both held on to get that 3,000 hit and retire

Nap Lajoie is 38 with 2,871 a nd Honus Wagner is 39 and has 2,850

Don't think I will see another 3,000 hits until Ty Cobb gets his

Ty Cobb BTW, I traded to Cleveland for Elmer Flick straight up just like Hughie Jennings wanted and after the Naps won the Series in 1905 and 1906, they haven't gotten there again, but Detroit won in 1909

Curse of Cobb?

He did have an amazing 1911 season hitting .415 with 256 hits, 17 HRs, 83 Sbs (87 CS) and 121 RBI and followed that up with an even more impressive .442 10 Hrs, 277 HITS and 112 SBS (35 CS)

But Cleveland lost Lajoie in Sept and eventually lost a 6 game lead to the A's who beat them by 2 games for the pennant and lost to the upstart Boston Braves who overtook the Reds in Sept after being 8 games back Aug 31st

Think Cobb may not get a ring in my Universe either

I decided to make the All Star game start in 1913 so it will be nice to see if Cobb can set another record by being the all time consecutive All Star, since he is more durable than Babe Ruth

And yes, this game is awesome
