Mike Schmidt (who is my favorite player of all-time) basically came out and said that if he had the opportunity to use steroids and knew MLB would not discipline him, maybe he would have taken him, too. Are we know turning into the thought police based upon a characterization of Cobb from 75 years ago?
Cobb and Babe Ruth played together in charity golf tournaments. He was a successful investor in the stock markets. He also established an educational fund. Cobb was many things -- some not so great, some better than any others. Looking at him from one perspective is not going to persuade anyone.
