You won't sneak many Ty Cobb questions past me, Jimmy.

Sidebar: The great Ernie Harwell recently joined the Wednesday nite baseball guys for the whole game, during which he told many stories. When asked about Cobb, he said that Cobb always treated him well. And he said he had a story - In the late fourties (well after Cobb was done playing), Harwell, Cobb, and the man that was Cobb's GM were at Augusta for the Master's. The GM spoke about how he received glowing telegrams detailing Cobb's progress at the AAA level after almost every game. This was when Cobb fessed up, he was the one that sent the telegrams. The GM had never had any idea.

Anyhow, my question I'll post in a minute. I need to check it.

From 1990 to 1997 either Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith lead the league in rushing. Who lead the league in rushing in 1989, before this remarkable streak began?
