Hmmm I have to look at this.
The Ken burns baseball is on Amazon. It bashes Cobb. But it is really good it has 10 parts all the way from the 1800s to 2010
Yeah, even The Glory of their Times bashes Cobb, yet his skill was described numerous times. I can see a case made for Ruth being the GOAT but I say Cobb. Stealing home at 41. Crazy.

My dad will argue the Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson are the best players respectively to cy their positions meaning position players and pitchers
Yeah, he got screwed. He called it. Had he played for NY, he'd have been a God. At least the record is being cleared eventually. He was a hard nosed competitor, vicious even, verbally, if not on the base paths but he wasn't evil.

He never killed that black man. They thing peopl trash him for was beating up that reporter. The guy called Cobb a ni**er. So yeah
