Oh, he was disliked by his fellow players. Most likely a racist. Almost surely did some terrible things in his lifetime. But he also wasn't the completely evil POS that Stump painted him as.

Much like the recent "The Big Bam" did for Babe Ruth scholarship, Ty Cobb could use a new, authoritative biography. Much of what has been written about Cobb in the last 50 years used Cobb's autobiography (written with Stump) and Stump's second Cobb book as sources. Neither is credible. An all-new book is called for.
