Ty Cobb may not have been a racist. His family had abolitionists. There are stories of his father fighting Jim Crow laws. So he may not have been the racists that people have portrayed him over the years.

Ty Cobb's "biographer" Al Stump made up a bunch of things that made Ty look bad.

Cobb even sued Stump after the publication.
