No. Is it online?

It's the best book on deadball baseball I've read.

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.

Especially for longevity. Ty Cobb's book on baseball was amazing, despite being written by Stump.

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

Yeah, he's bashed for standing up to people slurring him. Alot did back then. Even going into the crowd, his teammates went on strike to support him.

Ty Cobb isn't in that picture, sadly. He left early or was late.

I went to Cooperstown few years back. There is a photo of a parking lot from the first year. I actually walk on it.
