Rare Ty Cobb Sheet Music
Unaware of what an ornery cuss he was, fans idolized Ty Cobb, making him a suitable subject for a pop song. In 1913, in the middle of his five-year run of batting titles (over 13 years he won 11 of them, and finished second the other two years), Tin Pan Alley songwriter William Murphy composed "They All Know Cobb", in which "up came Ty-russ Cob-bie, ready with the stick he held." While not exactly as popular as "If You Knew Susie", Cobb himself must have liked "They All Knew Cobb" since his image appears on the sheet music to the tune, posed in a batting stance. A very rare piece of Cobb and Tin Pan Alley memorabilia, not to mention the noble genre of songs named for baseball players (DiMaggio, Mantle, etc.) The 5-page, 42 x 49" sheet music booklet shows only a smidgen of wear and age yellowing.
