Thanks for sharing!

Some of this sentiment about Cobb is also portrayed in little snippets by his former teammates and opponents in "The Glory of Their Times" by Ritter. People, like Cobb, who are generally aloof are often misunderstood by others.

I'm surprised that an autobiography could be published without allowing the subject (or his family) the chance to read it beforehand. What Al Stump did to tarnish Cobb's reputation posthumously is despicable.
