Cobb Hit Dispute Sparks New York Baseball Protest
The New York chapter of the Baseball Writers Association plans to protest an American League credited hit for Ty Cobb in a May 15 game in New York. They argue the play was ruled an error for Scott, Yankee shortstop, impacting Cobb’s official batting average of .401 versus a presumed .309 without the hit. Officials deny any statement but acknowledge the controversy and differing writer views on the ruling.
