I know baseball has to have heroes and villains, and Cobb fits the role of villain perfectly. But the worst about Cobb is taken unquestionably. Here you have arguably the greatest player in the game's history, and he's become a cartoon. The feeling is you can do whatever you want with him, no matter how over the top it is. -Dan Holmes

Jack Chesbro was one of the best pitchers in the game at that time. He was known for his spitball. Cobb took the first pitch. Then he hit next pitch into the left-center gap.

That created a whole landslide of Cobb-hating and piling on. That was the last 10 months of Cobb's life. I think if any of us were portrayed in the last 10 months of life, when we were ravaged by disease, we would not come across very well.
