Artest is a hands-down winner for today's athletes. The past brings up many names. I'll discuss one: Ty Cobb. Here's a guy who sharpened his metal spikes with the sole intent of injuring fielders upon sliding; an outspoken bigot who helped suppress integration in the majors; and a man who charged into the stands to attack a handicapped man that Cobb believed was taunting him. All that and a vicious drunk, too. Oddly enough, he was also possibly the best player of his time, carrying a .367 LIFETIME average and holding the stolen base record until Lou Brock broke it in the 1970's.
