Has Ty Cobb been slandered?

[Sans-Culotte]

When I was a kid, I used to read bios of all the great baseball players. I always read that Cobb was the “most hated man” in baseball. I figure he was the Pete Rose of his day.

Ty Cobb was a hell of a ‘ball player. By modern standards he was also one hell of a racist SOB. Such contradictions are part and parcel of human nature.
