Cobb was a mixed bag, just like everyone else. His effort in assisting the young Joe DiMaggio negotiate his first Yankee contract makes a wonderful story, which is more than offset by the time he went into the stands and beat the crap out of a man with no hands. Whether he was racist is almost beside the point that Cobb was almost universally disliked by teammates and opponents alike, as pointed out by Shoeless Joe in Field of Dreams.

The article describes the heckler as missing 7 fingers, not as, without hands.

Did you read the article?
