From what I understand, history has been rough on Cobb.
His mom shot his dad when he was 18.
Yes, he could be nasty on the diamond during his playing days. And the reputation followed him through life.
He gave money to needy retired ballplayers. He funded a new hospital. He established a Foundation to assist deserving residents of Georgia who needed financial assistance for college educations.
Late in life, Cobb commented that if he had his life to live over again, "I would have done things a little different... I would have had more friends."
