Thanks Mike. I LOVE Ty Cobb - one of my favorite vintage ballplayers. I admire his grit, and I don't mind the fact that he had very few friends as a player or that he got in lots of fights. I also admire his treatment of people as he got older - I'm sure he still had problems, even some of the ones Stump described, but he also wrote some very nice letters in response to his fans, and did some good things for others (all of the good thins are well documented). None of that erases the mistakes of his youth, which are also well-documented.
I also was against digging up Billy The Kid, and I think we really did land on the moon.
