My wife’s grandfather was the liaison between H&B and most major league ball players who used Louisville Slugger bats. That included Ruth and Cobb. He and Cobb were close friends. Cobb was one of the pallbearers when her grandfather died. He liked Cobb so much he wanted to name my wife’s dad Tyrus. But her grandmother, who did not like Cobb at all, vetoed that idea.
I guess that proves nothing other than you would expect a ball player might be nice to the guy who supplied his bats.
