I've listed this article for peer review because before I nominate it for
featured article status, I would like to see if any other improvements can be made to the article.
"as of 2007," - it's almost midway through 2008 now...
See
WP:HEAD for headings, so "The early years" should be "Early years".
Just gut instinct but for an article of this length, I'd say
WP:LEAD would recommend a more comprehensive lead.
Instead of continually referring to him as Ty, it should be Cobb as an encyclopaedia would treat it.
"major league at-bat," - a bit too jargon for FA.
Cobb signs.. caption is a fragment so no need for a full stop.
Consider, also,
WP:MOS#Images on the size of this image - just thumb should really be used. Check the other images too - portrait images should use upright as well.
"Although rookie hazing was customary," okay, so I'm British but I've got no idea what this means at all.
Year ranges should use en-dash, not hyphens.
"In one notable 1907 game, Cobb reached first, stole second, stole third, and then stole home on consecutive attempts (He did this twice more in his career)" the parenthesised sentence is clumsy, punctuation/syntax incorrect.
