He kept HOFer Mickey Cochrane out of the gutter, and he also helped Rogers Hornsby on more than one occasion. Al Stump is a piece of garbage....Wonder how much money he got from all of Cobb's memorabilia??
Once Stump was done hawking the personal items that COBB had given him he realized that he was on to something so he started selling other junk claiming they were personal items of Cobbs that Cobb had given to him. He made quite a few bucks selling junk, claiming it once belonged to COBB and it never did...
