Think I saw this on r/baseball at some point this week. Interesting to see that most of what I know of Cobb is embellished.

Al Stump's book, which turns out to be more fiction than fact, was a highlight of my childhood. I would be disappointed, but it works even better as a story than biography. I imagine I should read this new one to begin paving over my incorrect Stumpian neural pathways.
