Interesting about Ruth and Cobb. Ruth was excessive, particularly his generosity to fans. His humanity, strengths and weaknesses, were out there for all to see. The best of the best in living clean had their faults too but those faults were not on display.
Cobb was a very intense man...look at his eyes. He stared men down and they ran off talking among themselves about how the evil man assaulted them with his eyes. People that intense are taken too seriously and exaggerated. Cobb was a racist? Why is he talked about more than other racists from that era? Because he was the best? The best of the best in popularity and skills are the people most talked about. Extroverted peope are easy to judge. Introverted people not so much. Cobb wanted to win at any cost. Ruth wanted people to see him win. Last edited by Clutch-Hitter; 10-30-2012 at 08:51 PM.
