Ty Cobb radio interview
 

I don't think I had ever heard Cobb's voice before listening to this interview from 1930. He's obviously reading it all from a script, but he gives his opinion of the players of his day, including Joe Jackson and Napoleon Lajoie (which he pronounces LAH-zho-way).

Thanks for sharing. It's very cool to hear the voice of Cobb & the legendary Grantland Rice!

Edit to add: Another cool link showing old film footage of Cobb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGGKc2ZtYLE

Very cool.............thanks.

Incredible, thank you.

Loved how he told the truth and said that baseball to him was "no play" but "all work". Fascinating. He actually sounds like an average joe!
