Ty Cobb was very complex, but he was not the racist that he's been painted to be by the likes of Al Stump. And there is plenty of evidence in Cobb's own words and actions to prove it.

I'm surprised this hasn't been a more popular topic on here, if what Leerhsen writes is true than the popular conception that has been drawn of Cobb will be completely changed.

That link is completely awesome... Thanks for sharing.
Makes a pretty compelling case that Cobb wasn't exactly the monster that history has made him out to be... Who knows? That just makes his mystique that much more interesting |
