Really good article that tells a lot about Cobb.

Ty Cobb Was Not A Racist

He was a mean spirited man but also an extremely charitable man and the focus of his charity was almost exclusively on helping blacks.

The media has never let the truth get in the way of a juicy slander.

Especially when the subject is dead and cannot defend himself.

Wow, your article changed my opinion of the man even more than this post. I'd always felt that he was a victim of some bad press, because I was aware of at least some of his charitable activities, but by no means all of them.

However, I did not think it possible that all of the press could be wrong. I liked him as a boy because I was a bit of a runt myself who had to compete hard. Now, I understand that my instincts were right.
