My Life In Baseball The True Record [Paperback]

Highly successful in knitting together this story of the life of a most remarkable and dedicated player - perhaps the most spirited baseball player ever to have graced the diamond. - Library Journal . I find little comfort in the popular picture of Cobb as a spike-slashing demon of the diamond with a wide streak of cruelty in his nature. The fights and feuds I was in have been steadily slanted to put me in the wrong...My critics have had their innings. I will have mine now. - Ty Cobb. Frank, bitter, trend-setting autobiography. - USA Today Baseball Weekly . One of the most remarkable sports books ever written. - Los Angeles Daily News . The old Tiger still spits and snarls off the pages. - Cooperstown Review . Of Ty Cobb let it be said simply that he was the world's greatest ballplayer. - New York Herald Tribune (1961 editorial on Cobb's death). This Bison Book edition of My Life in Baseball is introduced by Charles C. Alexander, a professor of history at Ohio University, Athens, and the author of a Biography of Ty Cobb .
