Now that is an interesting coincidence about pitching against the Brooklyn Robins and the picture was hanging in a Red Robin restaurant. By the way Red Robin has some very good burgers.
I actually did know about his success after his playing days. I just got finished listening to an audiobook for a second time about Ty Cobb called A Terrible Beauty. Dutch Leonard had a couple of confrontations with Cobb over the years. This is a tremendous book trying to set the record straight about how Ty Cobb was not as much of a monster as people make him out to be.
