It's utterly confounding that this information about Cobb took so many years to come to light. He has descendants. If the ancestors, and Cobb himself, had this type of history, it's very strange that the family wouldn't have been more vocal against what had sadly been accepted as the more awful account of the "truth".
I have not yet read the Leerhsen book. Does he give a differing account of the story of Cobb going into the stands to attack the crippled heckler who allegedly called him the N word?
