Tyrus was a very gracious signer. Often if you asked for his autograph you recieved a letter and at the bottom it would say something to the affect of oh here it the autograph you asked for "Ty Cobb".
Cobb was not nearly the monster that Al Stump made him out to believe he was and from every account I have read on him a very decent person who loved signing for his fans.
I have a letter he sent to a friend after spending a weekend with him and have seen dozens since of just how nice and warm he was and always seemed like he liked writing letters to anyone who would write to him.
Bottom line is you cant believe all the bad stuff said about Cobb...Was he perfect ? No but are any of us?
