Its a cut and paste from wiki. I think it is pretty clear. Like many things in history, some stories become exaggerated or are wholly made up. There is no historical proof of the degree, if any, of influence Cap had on the vote. What IS undisputed is that he was a racist jerk. It is sad, but he was a product of his day. So was Ty Cobb, but I wont be getting rid of my Ty Cobb cards any time soon. I collect the images of guys who were great at baseball. I even own an OJ Simpson rookie!!!
