Ty Cobb’s Legacy

[bbcard1]

Unlike many, he understood that the world was bigger than he. A brilliant man financially, he amassed a fortune and was generous with it in both large ways and smaller ways, such as helping out former players who were down on their luck. Here's a decent article (sorry for the popups)

Should you be inclined to remember Ty Cobb on this Giving Tuesday, might I suggest you give a gift to the Ty Cobb Educational Foundation:

I own zero Ty Cobb cards.

Agree with complexity. To assume people as a caricature of their society makes an ass of you and me. I can think of many other people who should be viewed as complex rather than how history has painted them.
