Tyrus R Cobb is one of the most sought after figures in all of sports. His name conjures up visions of "spikes up" slides and a unique and potent split-grip batting style. Cobb retired with a slew of records, most notably his 4,191 hits. Cobb was a member of the inaugural class to be elected to the HOF and led Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson in total votes. This pink button down pajama top has been manufactured by "Phelps-Turkel" of California. Inside the neck "TRC," Cobb's initials, have been stamped in black ink. The shirt is in good condition, shows some wear, and comes with a letter of provenance from Cobb's family.
