The splendid splinter may very well be the greatest hitter that ever lived...but he wasn't in Junior's galaxy as a defensive player.

Junior was the GOAT all around imo...either him or Willie Mays.
 
@drvenner
May I ask why you hate Ty Cobb so much?
Probably because he was a racist pos among other despicable behavior. By all accounts he was just a nasty human being...allegedly.

But that has nothing to do with the fact that he was one of the greatest ballplayers ever...

But idiots are easily misled by the evil people there.
Never been but they are already idiots that gravitate towards people that believe like them….Years ago….. I was on a really cool message board called Microsoft comic chat….people could make a forum with any topic they wanted…. The topics that would be filled with people would make a normal person want to throw up.
 
A lot of what has been said, written, and filmed about Cobb being horrible (from being a massive prick to everyone, to being a monster racist, etc), the majority of it came from Al Stump's bios of him...bios that the early 90's movie was based on.

A great bit of it has now been disputed, and outright rejected and disproved. Many now say that Stump exaggerated, and in some stories, outright made things up...he was banned from newspapers because of this.

I remember how I felt after watching the movie, and then reading excerpts from Stump...I, too, believed Cobb a monster. However, now...most, if not all, of what Stump wrote has been argued and disputed and discredited.

I didn't know if you knew any of this...the reason I asked. Now, with that being said, Stump very well could've hit the nail on the head, and Cobb was exactly how he said he was; just wanted to let you know that it all has been disputed and argued and discredited by many.
If it is not true, then Ty Cobb has probably been slandered worse than anybody else I can think of.

I always thought all that stuff was established and accepted as fact.
