Detroit Tigers True Crime Mystery Revealed

'The Curse of Cobb: A Detroit Tigers True Crime Mystery'

'Some say it’s bad luck. Others swear it’s something darker. But one thing’s for sure—the Detroit Tigers’ most infamous curse wasn’t born on the diamond… it was buried there.'

The Crime

October 10, 1907—Detroit, Michigan. The Tigers are in their first-ever World Series, facing the Chicago Cubs. But before Game 1, a grisly discovery is made near Bennett Park (the Tigers’ home field at the time): the body of William 'Bud' Cobb, a small-time gambler with ties to Chicago’s underworld.

Cobb had been shot execution-style, his body left in an alley just blocks from the stadium. Rumor had it he was planning to fix the Series—either to help the Cubs or to exploit the Tigers’ underdog status. But before he could pull the strings, someone silenced him… permanently.

The Curse

The Tigers lost the 1907 World Series. Then they lost again in 1908. And again in 1909. Despite fielding legends like Ty Cobb (no relation to the victim), the team wouldn’t win a championship for nearly 40 years.

Players began whispering about 'Bud’s Curse.' Some claimed to see a shadowy figure lurking near the dugout during critical losses. Others swore they heard phantom gunshots in the late innings. Even after the Tigers moved to Navin Field (later Tiger Stadium), the stories persisted.

The Cover-Up?

In 1912, a Chicago hitman named 'Dutch' Leonard (not to be confused with the pitcher) allegedly confessed on his deathbed to killing Cobb—on orders from a Tigers executive who feared a gambling scandal would ruin the team. But the confession vanished, and Leonard’s body was found floating in the Chicago River days later.

Decades later, in 1968—the year the Tigers finally won another World Series—construction workers expanding Tiger Stadium reportedly unearthed a rusty revolver buried near third base. Ballpark officials quietly disposed of it. Coincidence? Or had someone finally laid Bud Cobb’s ghost to rest?

The Cold Case

To this day, no one knows:

Who really killed Bud Cobb?

Did the Tigers’ front office help cover it up?

Was the 1968 championship a fluke… or the end of a supernatural hex?

One thing’s certain: Detroit’s baseball history isn’t just about stolen bases… it’s about stolen lives.

'Sleep well, Tiger fans… if you can.'
