Synopsis
Probably the most volatile, fear-inspiring presence in baseball history, Ty Cobb was one of the most brilliant players in the game during his twenty-four-year career in the major leagues. Drawing on primary sources and personal interviews, Alexander brings Ty Cobb and his era vividly to life, showing the profound changes that took place in the sport of baseball during the tumultuous first half of the twentieth century.
"Impressive. A fascinating analysis of Cobb's personality."-The New York Times
"Alexander has performed that magical feat of creating Ty Cobb, warts and all. A wonderful, wonderful book."-Newsday
"Ty Cobb is a sociology of a time as well as a biography of the greatest and nastiest player of them all."-Stephen Jay Gould, The New York Review of Books
"Impeccably researched . . . reads like a novel. A fine book."-Lawrence Ritter, author of The Glory of Their Times
Originally published by Oxford University Press in 1984.
