Burial site of Tyrus (Ty) Raymond Cobb in his home town of Royston, Georgia.  Ty Cobb is widely regarded as one of, if not the best, baseball player of all time.  

Nicknamed The Georgia Peach, Cobb was an American Major League Baseball outfielder. He was born in rural Narrows, Georgia. Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until 1992. In 1999, editors at the Sporting News ranked Ty Cobb 3rd on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players".  

Cobb is widely credited with setting 90 MLB records during his career.  He still holds several records as of the end of the 2016 season, including the highest career batting average .367 and most career batting titles with 12.  He retained many other records for almost a half century or more, including most career hits until 1985 with 4,191, most career runs with 2,246 until 2001, most career games played (3,035) and at bats (11,434) until 1974, and the modern record for most career stolen bases (892) until 1977.  He still holds the career record for stealing home (54 times) and for stealing second base, third base, and home in succession (5 times), and as the youngest player ever to compile 4,000 hits and score 2,000 runs. Cobb ranks fifth all-time in number of games played and committed 271 errors, the most by any American League (AL) outfielder.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The suite was big and roomy. They were remodeling so there was some dust and things out of order, but nothing that bothered our stay.
