Bill Terry & I at his home in Jacksonville. Always had an open invitation to drop by whenever I was in Jacksonville. Spoke on the phone with him for over an hour on his last birthday on earth. A fine fellow.
One story he told me that stuck in my mind in talking about the old time ball players Bill told me Ty Cobb was the perfect gentleman, competitive on the field and a gentleman off of it. Told me he never even saw Cobb cuss around women, and was always polite to collectors and fans. By contrast he said that Shoeless Joe Jackson was "trash" hardly worth discussing and deserved everything he got.
