    Visiting the Ty Cobb Museum tomorrow AM
    Back in the States, driving the Jaguar up to Minny.

    Eating in Athens right now, fun town, cute chicks!

    Lifelong fan of Cobb, read all the bios, collect pieces of his history.

    Any questions you'd like me to ask the curator?

    Cobb is a massively misunderstood man and has a reputation that is completely mothballed only off the 1961 AL Stump 2 page article

      Tyrus Raymond Cobb was by far the greatest player in Major League Baseball's history, but very few write about his personal side—the side that has been buried beneath the weight of time...

          did he eat popcorn when he was not playing, after quitting his popcorn habit while in the field?

          How many stitches did he end up requiring opposing fielders to have to get with his sharpened spikes?

          did his family hold onto any of his early stock papers for his investments in Coca Cola or GM?

            He was, but that movie was based off a deal Stump made w a tabloid after the ghost written bio of Cobb he was hired for was issued a cease and disist order by Cobb

            Much more to the man than that movie

                          No, the mother stood trial for manslaughter and was acquitted.

                          However, there is a persistent rumor that it was straight up murder for fathers strict nature and mom was much younger

                            she married at 12

                            she had some rebellious teen years, that came back to haunt the relationship in later years

                              Yes, it's in the movie

                                The movie is based off Stumps tabloid payday. The story he tells is fictional and the basis (just one of) for the cease and desist on the biography.

                                Leershcon wrote, what I consider the ultimate bio, in 2019, titled a Terrible Beauty (Yates quote)

                                It is actually 1st hand sourced

                                It contradicts most of the rumors / innuendo we've grown accustomed to hearing

                                                36 hours ago was literally inside the dormant Volcano Barva, it's filled w steamy water now, crystal clear and like 60 feet deep...just beautiful.

                                                National Park been closed for years, road is just giant fallen rock that ends about 5km from old entrance, another 4km in from there on the old trail (note all the old wooden bridges are rotted out) but this is well worth breaking into. It's beautiful and isolated and when else u gonna go inside a volcano!!?? Literally on the continental divide as well!

                                                              Do they have any of his gloves there?

                                                              I'd love to try to play a real game with one of those old timers gloves. Those things look like they suck so bad. You'd almost rather be bare handed.... which is how they started.
