For a much different perspective into Cobb, this interview with his grandson is very interesting.

I just finished reading Herschel Cobb's, Heart of a Tiger. A fantastic book which not only highlights the dysfunction of the Cobb family, but also the warmth and generosity of Ty Cobb in his twilight years -- albeit, through the eyes of a young teenager.
While it's hard to say what the man was like during his playing days (depending on who you believe - and for me, Stump isn't one of them), but as a man in his later years, stories of the time spent with his family and him helping out former players who were down on their luck, certainly conflict with how he is perceived by many baseball enthusiasts.
