'Heart of a Tiger' personal Review
After reading Hank Thomas's great biography of his grandfather, Walter Johnson, I jumped at the chance to give Herschel Cobb equal time on his grandfather Ty.
However, I did not complete the task as I grew weary of the authors vivid descriptions of his parents' shortcomings which dominated the pages.
He did have great love and affection for grandpa whose visits were portrayed as 'rescues' from the bleak life with his parents.
While hearing about that side of Ty Cobb was refreshing, it could not overcome the shear volume of horrible stories attributed to the author's parents.
I guess you have to be in the mood to read such a book...clearly, I was not.
