This week\u00a0one lucky family found seven 100-year-old Ty Cobb baseball cards\u00a0worth — wait for it — over $1,000,000 dollars!\u00a0And it’s been all over the news, including on\u00a0CBS Sports<\/a>, Yahoo! Sports<\/a> and the Associated Press<\/a>. But here’s the original blog post by the official baseball card authenticator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And although the lucky family has remained\u00a0anonymous up to\u00a0this point, and although they are apparently not baseball fans at all (gasp!), we would like to celebrate this amazing find with a\u00a0photo gallery\u00a0of Ty Cobb with his baseball bats.<\/p>\n

Ty Cobb, like so many professional hitters during that era, used a Louisville Slugger bat<\/a> — originally known as\u00a0Hillerich & Bradsby. In fact, here’s a photo from Sports Collectors Daily<\/a>\u00a0of a Ty Cobb Slugger that was sold for $253,000.<\/p>\n
