Default 100 Years of Ty Cobb Today

Posted By: Scott Elkins

Fact - we all know what Cobb accomplished on the field!

HOWEVER, none of us knew him personally. So, HOW can any of us judge his character?????? Sure, the liberal media has blasted Cobb. We should all know by now that the media is NEVER 100% correct about anything!

Put yourself in Cobb's shoes - What would you be like if your mother killed your father? Then, you went to the big city to play a game you LOVE where all the Northerners made fun of you b/c you were from GA. How would you react?????

Sure, we all hear the sad stories about Jackie Robinson being verbally abused b/c he was black. However, the liberal media would never tell you all the stories about the verbal abuse Cobb had to endure b/c he was from the South!

Lastly, Cobb will always be the greatest to ever play the game! How many people can play that many seasons and not even strike out 400 times?????? Cobb's greatness is why his cards are usually the most valuable in the sets he is in!
