We'll start right out with that incredible initial class of 1936!

Ty Cobb- The Georgia Peach is one of the greatest players in Major League history and he didn't disappoint in the 1901 Replay league. He was the number one draft pick of the Brooklyn Superbas in 1903 and spent his entire career with them. Amazingly, his first season was as a 17 year old in 1904 and he played until 1929 at age 42.

His career numbers and rankings are as follows-

Games Played- 3434 (2nd)
At Bats- 12618 (2nd)
Hits- 4159 (1st)
Batting Average- .3296 (14th....10 of those were "Pre-replay")
OPS- .8643 (64th)
Runs- 2074 (6th)
Doubles- 768 (2nd)
Triples- 302 (1st)
Home Runs- 103
RBI- 1688 (37th)
Stolen Bases- 1163 (3rd)
WAR- 131.23 (8th)

He also has the best single season totals for hits (255), triples (32), and WAR (13.49). All of those records were set in his incredible 1911 season, when he hit .428/.487/.674 with 50 doubles, 32 triples, 11 HR, 147 R, 93 RBI and 109 SB. That .428 is one of only 2 times someone hit over .400 in the Replay League, so it is amazing how much above .400 he actually hit. A really incredible season.

Cobb also won the Triple Crown in 1918 with a season of .354/.418/.507, 34 doubles, 17 triples, 6 HR, 79 R, 86 RBI and 60 SB. He actually led the league in the TC categories, along with hits, doubles, triples, SB, OBP, SLG and OPS.

All of those numbers led to 2 World Series Championships, 5 Batting Championships, 15 Silver Slugger Awards, 1 Gold Glove Award, 13 All-Star selections, and a whopping 6 MVP selections. He was inducted with 99.4% of the vote in his first year of eligibility.
