Great bio on Boss Schmidt - read up when you have the chance --- Known for kicking Cobbs butt!
Schmidt was a good-natured presence on the team, “extremely popular” with his mates.He had been relatively tolerant of Cobb to this point, reportedly once lending him a bat after others had wrecked the outfielder’s. Still, Schmidt could quarrel or, if angered sufficiently, brawl. He stood 5’10”, weighed 200 pounds without “an ounce of superfluous flesh on his body.”His physical strength was already renowned.
Schmidt and Cobb squared off again on March 29. The catcher was allegedly offended by comments Cobb made to a Georgia newspaper about his abilities to out-fight any of his teammates. If so, Schmidt convincingly settled the matter by pummeling Cobb, leaving the Georgian a bloody mess.
