Default Defending Cobb
I don't understand why Ty Cobb is on so many scoundrel lists. Yesterday in ESPN they also made a reference to Cobb being a dishonest player and frankly I need to stand up for good old Ty...

While he may have been gruff, mean, bigoted, rough and cruel as a man he never was a cheat!

It seems arbitrary to place him alongside the likes of Hal Chase or Barry Bonds both of whom actually cheated in different ways.

The Hall should be about baseball accomplishments, not being a nice guy. For that reason, Cobb was the first man inducted into the hall out voting, Ruth, Wagner, Johnson, Matthewson and the like.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

It's not The Cheat HOF, it's The Scoundrel HOF
