Supposedly, he was never the same person or ball player after that. His downward spiral after that incident seems quite tragic, and sad.

I wouldn't mind seeing a movie on Cochrane! I'm pretty sure it would probably be pretty low budget though.
I can't imagine anyone biting at the idea of a player who was never a defenitive superstar player.
Having a movie based off of a great catcher would be awesome. I'm unaware of much of Cochranes life other than the fact that Ty supported him after baseball in some form or another. I would definitely like to see that movie!
