Wow, great stuff!
Scott, thanks for providing those links!
Like others I was really struck by Cobb's interview. He sounds so genial and relaxed, not Cobb-like at all. He has such an expansive view of the current (1950s) game vs. his own era, joking about how old-timers will always imagine their own game was superior, but that there would be equally good base-stealers in the current game if not for the home run fixation. He actually sounds like someone you would enjoy talking to, not like the ogre we have come to imagine. Also, where is the Georgia accent? Likewise, Speaker seems to have no Texas accent at all.
