I suggest you dig a little deeper into The Cobb’s history than just phony stories made up by a jilted journalist before lumping him in the Pete Rose trash can.

All the stories about Cobb may not be true. But the consensus seems to be that he was not a very nice guy.

Appreciate your post, would have said something like it. I did just that a couple years ago and was quite impressed, even though I never had any disrespect for him. My late father always said Cobb was a great player despite what the press said, and by then I also knew not to trust my local newspaper or the nearby NY Times, to which at one time I was forced to subscribe for a school project, which REALLY ticked off my dad.
