His career in baseball spanned forty years and two eras&;from the game&;s raucous early days to its emergence as big C. Alexander, a professor of history at Ohio University, Athens, and the author of Ty Cobb, calls John McGraw &;perhaps the single most significant figure in baseball&;s history before Babe Ruth transformed the game with his mammoth home runs and unparalleled showmanship.&;
