- Doug Miles and Don Henderson talk with Herschel Cobb grandson of baseball legend Ty Cobb and author of "Heart of a Tiger, Growing up with my Grandfather Ty Cobb" as aired on "Sports Talk". (www.dougmilesmedia.com)
- Sport
A medical Doctor friend from Royston Georgia who knew Ty Cobb and family told me he was a kind man and most of the old stories were not accurate. Being from Georgia, I was pleased to hear the truth from someone who actually knew him.
Love this book read it twice a year
"Heart of a tiger" 🐅 ...terrific name for book 📖
Herschel ...very articulate individual 🗣
Cobb was the GREATEST of all time. FACT
Ruth was better
Barry Bonds was better than both of them put together
@@Trump751 Joey Gallo is better than all 3
@@Trump751 with or without the steroids?
Babe Ruth. No contest.
Very good interview. - Common knowledge to many - but most people do not know about the horrible tragedy that Cobb went thru when his mother shot his own father, when Cobb was just starting in organized ball. I doubt most critics of Cobb could go thru that kind of experience and be a constant jokester.
It's a great interview thank you for sharing
Im alittle late to the party here but im glad i found this i enjoyed the interview very much. I have always wanted to know more about Ty Cobb but all i could find is snippets of info or controversial views by questionable sources. Watching documents, rare footage, reading about cobbs legacy over the years i instantly became a Ty cobb fan myself. I wouldve loved to have seen him play just once. Im definitely going to purchase the book
I have The TY Cobb book that he published with his own account,s he set the record on all the bullshit and I’m so glad I read a few hundred times by the way. He was a Genius at baseball that for sure he broke down every little detail. It’s so amazing. He is the greatest baseball player of all time!!! Let me repeat that he IS the Greatest baseball player Ever. There’s a lot of greats but Cobb was the best. First one inducted in to the HOF. Truly a Legend. I’m glad ppl are coming around to hear the truth. Thanks for being a Detroit Tiger too. My home town !!!
If you play for the Detroit Tigers then you really do suck
Barry Bonds would smoke his ass back then and even in today's game let me repeat Barry Bonds was the greatest player of all time case closed 👏 ps. Take that asshole
ROGER THAT!!!!
My home town as well, Cobb is a legend.
Hello and may I ask you what name is the book that you have mentioned? I have always been enamored with old tyme baseball and especially Ty Cobb! Thank you and have a Happy New Year!
yeah, Ty Cobb was the GREATEST ballplayer ever. do you know he even won the Triple Crown! YES! one year he lead to American League in Batting Average, RBI's, and Home Runs!!! my personal favorite Ty Cobb story is when he was many years retired, he was asked how he would hit against the tricky pitchers of today. Cobb answered, "OH.....I would hit 314." the sportswriters asked, "How did you come up with that!!?!" Cobb replied, "Well, you have to remember that I am 62 years old." thirteen times Ty Cobb stole 2nd base on one pitch, stole 3rd base on the next pitch, and stole home on the next pitch!
Ty Cobb once described baseball in his era as “a kind of war”. Those that played against him in those bygone days knew they were up against a warrior who gave no quarter.
great interview. I read a terrible beauty by charles Leerhson and that was one of the best books on cobb ever.
Great warrior from Ga..not a bad guy but tougher than most..
Excellent interview
Thank you. He was very good.
Cobb's house was on Spencer Lane in Atherton, CA.
Really interesting listen
I purchased herschals book a few years back. Great read. is herschal still with us?
I believe he is.
I saw cobb with tommy lee jones I loved it as did everyone I'm actually glad he said that's not really the way things happened
Stump made me sick. I just finished “Ty Cobb - a Terrible Beauty” by Charles Leerhsen who set the record straight. Stump wrote for True Detective magazine and wrote lies about Cobb in his articles to make sales and money. He’s a scoundrel of the first order. He died several years ago.
One thing Stump said was that no one came to Ty’s funeral in Royston. The truth is that thousands went along with significant dignitaries from Major League Baseball past and present. I suggest you get that book. Available on Amazon.
@@PastorDanWhite I believe you but I still love the movie I'm not a reader at all but thank you for the suggestion
I saw that movie. I thought it was a piece of garbage.
@@PastorDanWhite Ken Burns didn't do Cobb any favors either. Just reiterated the myths in his documentary. Makes you wonder how much of all of his documentaries are fiction.
@@patrickmorgan4006 Most are. He’s a fraud.
One thing about Ty Cobb he was great until the end. 24yr career.
Oh gawd, a grandson from Menlo park/Silicon valley. A far cry from Georgia from the 1920's. Riding the coat tails of your grandfather's lore. Total nother neck of the woods from your world. Don't wax eloquent here. Robert at 68.
Al Stump started the nonsense and lies about Ty Cobb and a movie based on his pack of lies book was made into a movie.
Charles Leerhsen sets the record straight in his book “Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty.”
He was one of the top 3 all time, with Ruth and Mays. However, no body rivaled him in competitiveness or singular focus with regard to the game.
I had heard that he wore ankle weights much of the time, until game time. When they came off, he felt as though he could FLY around those bases.
Hello my dad was stationed at Fort Gordon in 70 to71. We met miss Lombard at the mill pond.
We became good friends with her
When we were moving back she invited us to stay a night at her house and then in the morning we would go to her cottage in South Carolina
While we were at the house she told me that the last person to sleep in the bed that she set up for us was ty Cobb
I'm not sure but I believe she was Charles can anyone tell me more
Quite interesting ! ! I read Ty Cobb became a very wealthy man. I wonder if he invented the Corn Cobb Pipe. They were very popular at one time. Even Gen. Douglas MacArthur smoked one !
He was wealthy partly because he was one of the first investors in the Coca-cola company
nobody even comes close to Ty Cobb
You're a championship fisherman and a master baiter.
Ty cobb , original 4000 hit baseball hitter, no 1970s big red machine lineup behind him. Like pete rose
@@lloydkline1518 Roger that!!!
One reporter took joy to blackin Mr Cobbs life, a jealous reporter that could never make it
Al Stump was a fraud!!
He was a great player don't get me wrong, But I hate how people retcon and glorify the famous or
Infamous.
Very skeptical about his experiences with his grandfather, Ty cobb died in 1961, ...61 years ago. Unless Herschel Cobb is 70+ years, he will not remember much. Taking advantage of his name.....
A lot of bias reporting about ty Cobb from people who did not know the great ballplayer and made up stuff to embellish their stories.
Ty Cobb would suck in today's game Barry Bonds was a better hitter than Ty Cobb let's argue that statement 👍
I think Ty Cobb would have been more effective in the ‘70s and ‘80s as baseball wasn’t all home runs and strikeouts then. But he was a great athlete and I think he would have been one of baseball’s premier players regardless of the era when he would have found himself. Also, comparing two baseball players from different eras, such as Ty Cobb/Barry Bonds, or Babe Ruth/Hank Aaron, is simply not possible.
Barry Bonds shouldn't even be in the same sentence as Ty Cobb. Nor should any of the Steroid Era players.
@@acousticshadow4032 - Would Ty Cobb have taken steroids if he had played in the same era as Barry Bonds? Who knows? But I am very sure that, had Barry Bonds played a generation earlier, his HoF eligibility would be unquestionable. He would have been inducted in his first year of eligibility.
Ty cobb wouldve gotten 5000 plus baseball hits ,, playing today , fancy pitching machine. Hitting Videos,
@@outbackigloo6489 ty cobb 5000 hits plus today playing today
