Ty Cobb - The Georgia Peach (Biography) (Paperback)

Ty Cobb - The Georgia Peach is the biography of Ty Cobb, who is a Hall of Fame baseball player and is regarded by historians and journalists as the best player of the dead-ball era and as one of the greatest players of all time. Cobb received the most votes of any player on the 1936 inaugural Hall of Fame Ballot. Cobb's legacy as an athlete has sometimes been overshadowed by his surly temperament, severe racism, and aggressive playing style, which was described by the Detroit Free Press as, "daring to the point of dementia." Ty Cobb - The Georgia Peach is highly recommended for those interested in reading more about this important turn of the century baseball player.
