I must say this is very refreshing.

From all of the tales I've heard about Cobb, it seemed that such a "racist" talking about black players being in MLB in flattering terms seemed so out of character.

I guess the truth comes out eventually.

And I didn't know that the "sweet, poor little handicapped man" who kept taunting him, and Cobb beat up was anything but "sweet".

That story gets repeated so often I really though Cobb was some kind of monster.

I believed everything, right down to the sharpened spikes. And the black groundskeeper who dared to speak with him.

Glad to hear there truly is another side to all of the stories.

Looks like Al Stump is a real piece of work.

No wonder Cobb was so furious with that guy's "biography" of him.

Cobb was suing to stop distribution of the book when he died.

It's guaranteed that you are absolutely right......Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
