I'm currently reading microfilm of back issues of The Sporting News from early 1962, about six months after Cobb's death. TSN and countless writers, including former contemporaries, were avid in their defense of Cobb as having been maligned by Stump in one (or possibly a series of) magazine articles published after Cobb's death.
Many of the accounts I've read in TSN from the 1940s-1962 have convinced me that Cobb was not really the ogre that he had been painted to be.
