Ty Cobb - [not] a racist?

nope, all politics aside donald trump is still a lair.

he has only been a "politician" for about 2 years.

he has been a well documented liar since well before that.

back to the topic at hand: if everyone here seems to like the book and how it is written perhaps i will check it out.

I do listen to Dennis Prager and he said Cobb was one of the few pro black ballplayers in his time and that the perception of him being a terrible person were based on lies. Cobb had the highest career batting average and do not care to read the NYT since it is left wing and I don't trust them.

Yes, you are confused. Trump is certainly opinionated, bombastic, and prone to hyperbole. I'm tired of this "facts" bullshit. Calling your opinion fact and then denigrating people because they deny "facts" is wonderfully stupid and circular. Stick to baseball. By the way, the new book on Cobb is well worth reading. Roger Angell, he ain't. I notice the quality of the writing on the NYT has slipped considerably in the last few years. Given that everything written by the NYT is slanted toward the left, you can safely take its criticism with a grain of salt.
