Who was Ty Cobb? The History we Know That's Wrong. Very Interesting Read

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

I had a friend let me read his copy of this about Ty Cobb, very interesting read that really puts Cobb in a different light:

Thought this would be a great place to post, I really wonder why we have not heard more about it.

He wrote a book that goes into the details of his research and altered view of Cobb. A really good read.

Interesting article. Definitely makes me rethink much of what I thought were established facts about him.

Thanks for sharing!

Some of this sentiment about Cobb is also portrayed in little snippets by his former teammates and opponents in "The Glory of Their Times" by Ritter. People, like Cobb, who are generally aloof are often misunderstood by others.

I'm surprised that an autobiography could be published without allowing the subject (or his family) the chance to read it beforehand. What Al Stump did to tarnish Cobb's reputation posthumously is despicable.

Not only did Stump tarnish Cobb's reputation, but he also introduced fake memorabilia into our hobby.
