I also believe we should not compare times. Things were very different. The legal marriage age for a girl was very young( I think twelve).you were allowed to own another human and all of there children. Women had little to no rights and often not believed in matters of rape and other crimes.Children could drink alcohol.We could go on and on with the differences.
I always believe Cobb’s image was hurt by racism. I think people that actually have heard of Ty Cobb know two things about him . He played along time ago and he racist.
As for Cap Anson I know people that know baseball pretty well and don’t have a clue how he was.
