Ty Cobb and his Detroit Tigers are certainly dominating our retro league, but there are also other players doing amazing things.
Boston's Honus Wagner continues to add to his huge lifetime numbers. Honus this year became the first player ever to accumulate 2000 hits, the first to get 1000 runs scored, and also became the first to get 1000 RBIs! Honus continues to be the all-time leader in games played, doubles, home runs, HBP,s, and stolen bases.
Shoeless Joe Jackson (NYN) has also risen to the top of some important career statistics in his brief five-year career so far. The Shoeless One now is the all-time leader in all three "slash" categories (batting average .357, on base percentage, .406. slugging percentage.514)! No small "feet" (ugh, sorry for the pun!) to top Ty Cobb in any of these categories, yet alone all three.

Ed Walsh (SLN) has now taken over the all-time best ERA, with 2.40. Teammate Christy Mathewson extends his all-time strikeout record to 2344 so far. Mathewson leads in all-time wins, with 244, and should crack 300 before he hangs up his spikes. Eddie Plank (DEA) joined Mathewson as the only pitchers so far to toss 3000 innings.
