Book Reviews of Cobb: A Biography
Book Review: Simply Magnificent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I made the foolish mistake of actually reading this book after watching the movie "Cobb". Talk about going in with expectations that were so far off what you had seen and been led to believe. This book was the most exhillarating reading experience that I can remember in a very long time. It held me captive from the very beginning to the very end. I actually was disappointed that it ended. I thought that Charles Alexander did a great job in his book, "Ty Cobb". Al Stump exceeded it with a simple, but effective writing style that allowed your imagination to roam back to the early 1900's. Al Stump confirmed what I always knew, but was afraid to admit about Cobb: He was one of the meanest SOB's that ever lived on the face of the earth. He was also the greatest player that ever graced and disgraced the game. Anthony DeMedeiros, Toronto, Ontario.
