TY Cobb ANNOTATION
Ty Cobb was one of the most famous baseball players who ever lived.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Probably the most volatile, awesome presence in baseball history, Ty Cobb was unparalleled as a performer for most of his 24-year career. When he left the game in 1928, controversy followed him. His was not an easy nature.
Proud, hypersensitive and intelligent, he was determined to be the greatest ballplayer of his day, and he fiercely battled anyone who stood in his way. That included not only the opposition players and umpires but the fans and his own teammates as well.
Cobb's years in the major leagues were a time of profound change, in baseball as well as in the social realities of American life. By focusing on Cobb and baseball, both symbols of their time, the author illuminates the entire era.
