Done. Sorry 'bout that. in light of newer biographies of Cobb, it probably was just a sick joke. Again, I apologize...now, let's dig into those others: Non-Players in the Hall: Landis kept the majors from integrating for decades - at a time when he may have had enough power to make the change. Frick was the first to impose an '*'. Yawkey made Boston the LAST team to integrate. =

I have no idea if independent research has verified but I do remember hearing stories that Hornsby and Speaker were members of the Klan.

"Hornsby, however, was almost as well known for his bluntness and complete lack of diplomacy as his prowess with a bat. He rarely argued with umpires but said whatever crossed his mind to anyone else, including the owners he worked for. Longtime Cardinals owner Sam Breadon remarked that listening to Hornsby was like have the contents of a rock crusher emptied over his head... Hornsby’s managerial career was far less successful than his playing career, however, especially at the major-league level. He managed for all or part of 15 big-league seasons with six franchises, achieving by far his greatest success as player-manager of the 1926 world champion St. Louis Cardinals.6 However, his overbearing, often irascible personality created poor relations with both players and owners, and led to his being fired at every post, sometimes in midseason..." https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/b5854fe4 |
