Rucker and Cobb
As a Brooklyn Dodgers afficionado, the Napster is a favorite of mine.
He was Cobb's roomate in the SALLY [?] League, by the way. My favorite anecdote is an apocryphal one, and clouded by 50 years of memory, but this is the story I recall: One day on the mound, Rucker got blasted and was yanked early. Back at the boarding house, he soaked in a hot tub. When Cobb returned home, he pulled Rucker, fighting, out of the tub. 'What the hell's wrong with you?' or something to that effect, exclaimed the stunned Nap. 'You don't understand,' Cobb purportedly said, 'I just have to be first--' You'll have to forgive any inaccuracies of recollection. And sorry to say, in my opinion, Nap Rucker does not belong in the Hall. If he were in, you'd have to open the gates to a few hundred more, and there are already too many as it is. Doug
