I have heard about that homerun record by Cobb. However, the accounts I read said that he despised Ruth's homerun hitting, and apparently he held his bat with his hands together just to prove a point, that he could do the same if he chose. The more I look at it, it seem many players today could benefit from the increased control lent by the split grip.

Cobb's split grip became a hands together grip at contact.
