When Ty Cobb retired from Major League Baseball some 98 years ago in 1928, and it's hard for me to wrap my mind around this, he had set 90 Major League records.
If you were to put together a short list, a top 10 list of greatest of all time Major League Baseball players, you gotta put Ty Cobb on the list.
He was a part of the first class inducted into Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame there at Cooperstown.
You'll be hard pressed to find a baseball player more accomplished than Ty Cobb.
In his lifetime, he had amassed a personal fortune just in investments well north of $100 million.
It's not a stretch to say that in world history, you would be hard pressed to find an individual who had accomplished more in their life than Ty Cobb.
why is it then?
When he went back to Cooperstown in following years to celebrate other people's induction to the Hall of Fame, there's Ty Cobb seated at a table all by himself.
Why is it then that when Ty Cobb dies, only three former Major League Baseball players showed up at his funeral? I think Ty Cobb would tell us the reason why.
He would say, you know what, if I had to do my life all over again, I would have had some friends.
So you need to understand Ty Cobb was so relentless in accomplishments and achievements.
He was so driven to be the best that in the end of the day, he became a narcissistic individual whose punchline to all of life, especially work, it began and ended with him.
Some point in his life, he made the devastating decision to trade relationship for accomplishment.
