Book Reviews of Ty Cobb: Safe at Home
Book Review: A rather short bio
Summary: 4 Stars
There are positive and negative sides to this book.
On the negative side, it is a rather short bio. There isn't that much baseball. Some of Ty's most important moments in life are not explored enough.
On the positive side, we get to know Ty a little better. I'd say this book covers what Al Stump's "Coob" did not. It's truly incredible what Ty Cobb left for his fellow human beings. The heritage he left for younsters, teenagers and sick persons is outstanding. In some case, he went out of his way to help others.
Ty Cobb just was not only the depressive, anti-social and racist psychopath some historians, writers and reporters want you to think.
As Bill James once wrote, when you didn't challenge him, he was a nice enough human being.
