5. Ty Cobb – Baseball
American Major League Baseball outfielder Tyrus Raymond “Ty” Cobb known by his nickname “The Georgia Peach”. He is widely credited with setting 90 Major League Baseball records during his career. He still holds several records as of 2013. Controversial athletes come in many different forms, but Cobb has to be the most controversial for his off-field, evil behavior. Cobb broke many records in MLB, but his legacy is overshadowed because he had a very bad temper, argued with everyone over just about everything, and once even strangled a groundskeeper at Tiger Stadium. Cobb was just a ticking time bomb, getting into violent fights, and his drinking made him even more erratic.
