Ty Cobb could have gone 0 for his next 2,529 ABs and would have still been a career .300 hitter. If we assume a 600 AB season, then we're talking about going hitless for over 4 years.

Given George Sisler’s 15-year career and lifetime .340 batting average, it is a bit surprising that he had but two American League batting championships.

Babe Ruth with Ty Cobb, June 13, 1924. Despite their smiles for the camera, there was a genuine, intense rivalry between them. Cobb notably resented how Ruth's power game made Cobb's style of play "obsolete" in the public eye.
The friendly atmosphere didn't last long. In the 9th inning of this game, a massive brawl erupted (the "Navin Field Riot") after Tigers pitcher Bert Cole threw at Ruth, and then hit Bob Meusel. Ruth charged the mound, fans stormed the field, and the police had to intervene to restore order.
It remains one of the wildest games in Tigers/Yankees history.

Ty Cobb’s baseball glove. Players of the era relied on bare-handed catching techniques, quick hands, and toughness rather than equipment advantages.
