I mean, that is the reason why Shoeless Joe wouldn't let Cobb play in Ray's cornfield in Iowa back in the late 80s.

Read the book Cobb...he was a despicable human being in every way. Died alone, his family had disowned him, his kids would not speak to him. Horrible man.
Wasn't that book written by a reporter who had a grudge against Cobb? The same book the movie with Tommy Lee Jones was based on?
I may be remembering that wrong, but I thought that book was at best greatly embellished and at worst flat out lies.
Not saying he was a nice man (I don't know at all), but he wasn't the tyrant the reporter made him out to be.

You mean the book that has been proven to be nothing but a smear campaign on Cobb. And you actually believed that shite

What always gets me
Is how fricking yoked ol’ Pete was. Players didn’t really look like that back then. I wonder how he trained.
