I'm only a couple of minutes in and am already ticked off with the interviewer. Cobb was offering some amazing insight by listing lesser-known pitchers who he had trouble with. This was, after all, perfectly answering the interviewer's question as to who were the toughest pitchers he faced. It was fascinating to hear him mention George Mogridge and Carl Weilman...then, the interviewer interrupts him just so he can hear Cobb say the obvious: Mathewson, Johnson, Young, etc. I did get a chuckle out of Cobb specifying "'Old' Cy Young"! Wouldn't want to confuse Denton with Irv!

Pete someone posted awhile back Ty being on "What's My Line"
& I thought the same thing about his lack of southern accent

This is great !
He seems advanced and ahead of his time .. he believes the Athletics Will “repeat” and the Cubs will “repeat “
Love his comment on the Athletics - “ they have a young club that has just found themselves “
- List great pitchers by their first and last name except for “ .. and Alexander”

Sitting in the LazyBoy, a cup of coffee at hand, on a quiet Sunday morning and listening to Ty Cobb talk story. Life is good. Did a little searching and found a few more YouTube clips featuring the great man. One in particular that I enjoyed was a radio interview with Grantland Rice in the 'thirties. The narrative is accompanied by a dandy series of vintage photos. As a bonus at around the 4:12 mark Ty intones the name of Lajoie (which ought to end that debate once and for all).

Ballplayers sure looked old back then, he was only 43 years old during this interview. Life was tough back then.

I know it’s surprising every time I look at a vintage star and then realize how young they actually were at the time of the photo. I guess a lot smoked which didn’t help.

Thanks for sharing. It's great to hear the greatest hitter (by avg) of all time. He mentioned Cy Young at the top of his greatest pitchers.
Great video!


and a card or two, because every thread needs one or two

I actually thought Cobb looked pretty good and still resembled his T206 portraits.

It was also nice to see him with his dog. Nobody should ever believe what's written in that fake biography. All you need to do is see a man with his dog to know his nature. Looks like a very nice man to me.

Good call.
I'm 43yo right now and I don't think I look quite that old.
Should probably look in the mirror to make sure.

I’m sure a linguist could describe the way people talked back then but it had such a “sing-songy” old timey way about it… love it. Reminds me a bit of how my own dad spoke from time to time (he grew up in coastal Maine in the 30’s and 40’s)

Great video - thx for sharing!

I'm not sure if this has been posted about here, but I always got a chuckle out of "Scoops Callahan." He's a Dallas-area personality who has periodically asked athletes/coaches questions in the style of a 1920s reporter:
