A fascinating and authoritative biography of perhaps the most controversial player in baseball history, Ty Cobb—“The best work ever written on this American sports legend: It’s a major reconsideration of a reputation unfairly maligned for decades” (The Boston Globe).

Ty Cobb is baseball royalty, maybe even the greatest player ever. His lifetime batting average is still the highest in history, and when he retired in 1928, after twenty-one years with the Detroit Tigers and two with the Philadelphia Athletics, he held more th

Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty by Charles Leerhsen Book Review

Name: S. E. Moore
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: The Man We Loved To Hate
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 10, 2017
Review: When most of us hear the name Ty Cobb, we conjure up visions of a racist and a psychopath who went out of his way to maim rival ball players. After reading Cobb's so-called autobiography years ago which he collaborated with sportswriter, Al Stump, I was amused at the eccentric and Evil Cobb stories and even had a good laugh passing them along. After reading this book, I regret doing that.

During the course of researching this book, Charles Leerhsen discovered that many of the Evil Cobb stories just didn't add up and can be traced to one man, Al Stump. Leerhsen sets the record straight in this book which is probably the most credible account of Cobb's life. Leerhsen doesn't sugar coat or whitewash Cobb's image. Cobb was a fanatical competitor and didn't tolerate anyone who didn't play up to his standards. He also had a hair trigger temper and was not a man to be trifled with. When Cobb was provoked, he lashed out.

However, Leerhsen points out that the early dead ball era Cobb entered as a rookie was not as genteel as today's Major League Baseball. Ball players were not paid very well and were considered low life ruffians by the higher classes. Fights were a lot more common and didn't generate much publicity. Cobb came from a well educated, genteel southern family and was thrown into this rough and tumble world at the age of 18. Cobb quickly learned that he had to fight to gain respect. If Cobb had been a mediocre player, his fights would have gone unnoticed and he would not have been a target of abuse from fans and other players, especially some of his teammates who resented his talent.

Cobb played hard but according to those who played with him, he played fair and never maliciously maimed other players with his spikes. Cobb, like other players, believed the base paths belonged to the runner and fielders who got in the way had to accept the consequences. The spike sharpening legend has no merit yet it has been ingrained in our memory of Ty Cobb,

There is also no definitive proof that Cobb was a racist. Some of the fights Cobb allegedly got into with African Americans either never happened or were with white men. Cobb, contrary to the stereotype of him as a southern white man who hated blacks, actually supported the integration of African Americans into Major League Baseball.

Leerhsen traces a lot of the Evil Cobb legends to Al Stump who made a name for himself by exploiting Ty Cobb's legacy. Cobb died before he had a chance to stop the publication of the so-called autobiography which he collaborated with Stump. The autobiography didn't sell very well so Stump went on to publish even more sensational accounts of Cobb's life. After Cobb died, Stump sold a lot of counterfeit Cobb memorabilia to include documents with Cobb's forged signature. In addition, Stump had been banned from publication in certain newspapers and magazines because he had a reputation for making things up.

There's an old saying, "If you tell a lie long enough it becomes the truth." Leerhsen points out that subsequent portrayers of Cobb to include Charles Alexander, Hollywood, and the famous documentarian, Ken Burns, bought into the Evil Cobb legends without checking the facts. Cobb was falsely accused of killing people and as Leerhsen claimed, "in the fullness of time, Ty The Ripper's body count only increased". Ron Shelton, who directed the 1994 box office flop, "Cobb" told Leerhsen that "it is well known that Ty Cobb may have killed as many as three people". When Leerhsen asked him where the proof was, Shelton replied, "all this is well known". An egregious example of slandering Cobb was a scene in the movie where Cobb attempted to rape a girl in a Nevada casino. Shelton admitted that he and his resident expert consultant, Al Stump, came up with the scene because, "it felt like the sort of thing Cobb might do".

Over the years, we accepted the Evil Cobb legends and even spread them because, let's face it, Ty Cobb was a man we loved to hate. That says a lot about us.

It's a shame that it took this long to vindicate a man who had been slandered and demonized after his death by a charlatan and a fraud. In the court of public opinion, Al Stump should be on trial, not Ty Cobb.

Title: The real Ty Cobb
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2020
Review: Charles Leehrsen has done an important thing. He has sat down dug up the original sources: old newspaper articles, contemporaneous interviews, family histories and has written an accurate biography of Ty Cobb. This is not only important for baseball fans but for the cause of the overall truth. When I was a boy reading baseball books in the 50s Cobb was still an admired figure. Then after his death things changed. Cobb came to be regarded as a villain. A psychopath in a baseball uniform, a vicious racist, probably a rapist, and maybe even a murderer. Mean old skinflint hated by his contemporaries, nasty to everyone, including children. He became a symbol for all the real and imagined ills of American society at the beginning of the 20th century. But guess what? none of that is true.
Cobb was a perfect target for all the virtue shamers of our self righteous age. The trend reached his peak with Al Stump's 1994 biography of Cobb. The book caused a sensation. Major baseball chroniclers such as Ken Burns, and Roger Kahn fell for it hook line and sinker. Cobb became the most hated figure in baseball. People said he, the first man elected to the Hall of Fame should be removed therefrom. People ignored the fact that Stump was a forger of supposed Cobb documents. That he was at the same time being sued for theft by the Cobb estate. No one bothered to check Stump's sources until Mr Leehrsen did. When i stopped coounting he pointed out no less 15 grave factual errors in the Stump book and more in the movie starring Tommy Lee Jones He showed that:
1) While Cobb was perhaps the most aggressive player in a particularly aggressive era, he was not a raging lunatic. He didn't try to injure other ballplayers. He did not sharpen his spikes to hurt them.
2) He was a product of a racist society, but he was less racist then many of his contemporaries. He showed up often at Negro League games, sometimes throwing at the first pitch. He supported the integration of baseball. He was a great admirer of Willie Mays and Roy Campanella in particular.
3) He was fairly popular with his fellow ballplayers. He frequently dined with them at his home. He went on hunting and fishing trips with Honus Wagner, Tris Speaker and many others. His election to the Hall of Fame was also very popular with his fellow ballplayers.
4) He was a philanthropist who loved talking about the game to children.
If you're skeptical about what I'm saying that's fine. Read Leehrsen's book and you'll be convinced. You won't see a plaster saint. Cobb was a brawler, a fierce competitor often to the point of fury. He had his share of other faults, but he was an amazing student of the game of his time. To put it in modern terms he would be a combination of Pete Rose, Tony Gwynn, Ichiro Suzuki, and Rickey Henderson. Read this fine book, and come away with a well deserved caution in accepting popular myths.
