Book Reviews of My Life in Baseball: The True Record
Book Review: "Baseball is a red blooded sport for red blooded men." Cobb
Summary: 4 Stars
"Pink Teas and molleycoddles had best stay out." So says the the best baseball player EVER to play the game. From the blistering red clay of Georgia to the glory that was Tiger Stadium, to the cold moors of Scotland, Ty Cobb tells the story of his life and times. Is it the truth? Al Stump, who cowrote the book, would say no. Ty Cobb would say yes. In the end it doesn't really matter. I'm sure that Cobb was the man somewhere in between. You can argue and debate whether he was a good man or a bad one, but there is no debating that he played the game like it was meant to be played. A competitor the likes of which we have never seen and will likely never see again. This book is a must read simply because of the picture it paints of a man struggling to survive away from home, in a hostile place, surrounded by hostile men, but ever fighting on. "Baseball is a struggle for survival." Ty Cobb
