Conventional wisdom has it that Ty Cobb was a violent psycho, the most hated man in baseball. I read Leerhsen's book year last year. Came away with a much better opinion of Cobb. SABR thought it was a pretty good read too. They conferred upon it their Larry Ritter Award for best book related to the Deadball Era.
