Ty Cobb, the fifth track on Soundgarden's final album, Down on the Upside, was written by Chris Cornell, lyrics, and Ben Shepherd, music.
The track was originally titled "Hot Rod Death Toll," but reminded Shepherd of the infamous baseball player Ty Cobb. He holds the all time career batting record (.367) but Shepherd considered him also an outspoken womaniser, alcoholic, and racist.
