Can anyone recommend a good Cobb biography? I've read Al Stump's book cover to cover about 10 times and I'm ready to move on to something else. Thanks!

Richard Bak wrote two very good books on Cobb.

A lot of Stump's book on Cobb is garbage. I would take much of it with a grain of salt. Give Charles Alexander's book a try.

Agreed that Stump's book is less than accurate.
It was posted by Ron Cobb on the Ty Cobb yahoo group (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ty_Cobb/) that Charles Leerhsen is working on a biography (http://www.charlesleerhsen.com/)
