	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Ty Cobb (1886-1961)
		Cobb was born in The Narrows in Banks County, on December 18, 1886, the first of three children.
		Cobb still holds the record for most steals of home, with more than fifty (the exact total is in dispute).
		In 1963 Cobb was one of the first three professional athletes to be inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, and in 1998 the citizens of Royston opened a museum in his honor.

	Salon Entertainment \| Home Movies by Charles Taylor
		Cobb greets Stump with a blast of buckshot, and holds him at gunpoint whenever Stump argues with him, threatening to kill the reporter in the blink of an eye.
		Cobb's belief in his own greatness is a belief in his superiority to almost everyone else, but he also knows he's a nasty prick.
		Cobb's desire to invest himself with enough stature to stand up to death is both weirdly heroic and the thing that cuts him off from the living.

	Cobb (1994)
		Cobb wants to set the record straight on his life, and he also wants Stump to take him to a testimonial dinner in Cooperstown.
		Cobb slowly reveals sordid details of his past, with a particular emphasis on his parents.
		He might be right, for one of the movie’s major flaws stems from the unsatisfying manner in which it examines the ballplayer’s life.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Cobb \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Cobb is insistent that the book be a whitewash, that it portray the ballplayer as a heroic sweetheart.
		With the "Cobb" told from Stump's perspective, we have a solid point of view, and while one could argue that there is perhaps a bit too much of Stump at the expense of Cobb, for the most part the ploy works quite well.
		"Cobb" is rated R for considerable profanity and vulgarity, a fair amount of violence, an attempted rape and nudity.

	Tiresome Film About the Monstrous `Cobb'
		We see Cobb, through cinematically fascinating flashbacks (some in fl and white like old newsreel footage, some repeated), as a defiant kid whose father was murdered by the lover his mother entertained.
		Cobb -- who was mean long before his father's death -- started his career in 1905 with the Detroit Tigers, a career that lasted until 1928 and accumulated astonishing statistics.
		But ``Cobb'' never lets us get inside the man. The viewer winds up with the depressing, uneasy feeling that ``Cobb'' really is a celebration of a monster, with but a little glimpse of its beating heart.

	Amazon.ca: Cobb: Video: Ron Shelton,Tommy Lee Jones,Robert Wuhl,Lolita Davidovich,Ned Bellamy,Scott Burkholder,Allan ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This movie cronicals the last few years of Cobb's life from his violent personality to his love on fine and hot women to his fued with his daughter.
		Tommy Lee Jones is cast as Cobb, in a larger-than-life performance that humanizes the aging Cobb in spite of his raging racism and generally obnoxious behavior.
		This movie was not a hit because of limited release(40 theaters instead of the planned 400 according to Shelton's commentary) but it is easily one of the best movies made about baseball and the people who play the game.

	Lee J. Cobb - Filmogs Profile
		Lee J. Cobb Biography: Lee J. Cobb, one of the premier character actors in American film for three decades in the post-World War II period, was born Leo Jacoby in New York City's Lower East Side on December 8, 1911.
		Lee J. Cobb achieved immortality by giving life to the character of Willy Loman in the original 1949 Broadway production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." His performance was a towering achievement that ranks with such performances as Edwin Booth as Richard III and John Barrymore as Hamlet in the annals of American theater.
		His movie career reached its artistic peak in the decade of the 1950s, when he was twice nominated for Best Supporting Actor Academy Awards, for his role as Johnny Friendly in "On the Waterfront" (1954) and as the father in "The Brothers Karamazov" (1958).

	Cobb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cobb was a nasty racist bastard, but a fascinating character.
		Cobb chose a sportswriter Al Stump to work with him — even though he had never met Stump (it's believed he chose him because Stump was a top writer at the time).
		Cobb was unpleasant, and there were too many people who had never heard of them (alas, baseball is no longer the national pastime: a loss for the nation, but I'll write about that at another time).

	Cobb (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cobb had a reputation as a mean player who is cruel, bigoted and monstrous.
		As the pair set off to Reno in a middle of a snowstorm, Cobb tells him the story of his life, although the bitter, angry mess that is Cobb tells him all he needs to know about the past.
		The film never shirks from showing Cobb to be the monstrous man he was claimed to be - either in his cruel career where he would sharpen his studs to hurt opponents or his personal life where he destroyed his family.

	Ty Cobb - BR Bullpen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cobb was born in a farming community called "The Narrows." There was and is no community in Georgia called "Narrows." The area was called "The Narrows" because it lay in an area where the valley narrowed near a river or stream.
		Cobb brandished a gun and chased one of the men who was fleeing.
		But he almost certainly didn't kill a man. The attack was reported in the papers and the Tiger trainer stitched Cobb up on the train, so it would have been news if a body had been found in an alley or a street in Detroit that matched a murder by beating at the same time.

	MB4: MIKE & BOB'S MOVIE PAGE 4.0
		Cobb was sold as a baseball movie on ESPN Classic this week, but it's more of a character study than a baseball film.
		I know Cobb had no friends in or outside of the game of baseball, so I figure that the racist, sexist, womanizing, gun-toting wacko that we see on screen is pretty close to the real Ty Cobb.
		The moral of the story is that Cobb has no friends because of his arrogance and hatred of others.

		In the movie he has all the degenerate characteristics of an unhealthy eight and only several of the redeeming virtues.
		In Cobb's life that meant hurting whomever he could on the base paths, pistol-whipping a man to death, amassing wealth and probably shooting his own father.
		Even Cobb, who is portrayed as systematically unashamedly vicious, took care of one of his old baseball buddies who had a drinking problem.

	Cobb
		Ty Cobb was certainly not a favorite and was, by many accounts, a mean-tempered, vicious, drunken, wife-beating, racist SOB who was impossible to spend any length of time with, and the movie Cobb faithfully represents those qualities, especially the last one.
		Ty Cobb was "the greatest baseball player of all time" as you'll see from the film.
		Now, two books exist, the original written in honor of a hero, the second to tell the "real story." This movie has a combination of both, as it reveals a human who happens to be a legend.

		The best performance in the movie is by John Belushi, as a maniacal pilot, who causes a great deal of chaotic disaster, while trying to warn the public about the sub.
		Martin Scorsese is a very talented director, but he usually does one type of movie, featuring some of the same characters.
		The most impressive performance comes from Bernhard, who usually is better on TV than she is in movies.

		The subject of Ron Shelton's brilliant new movie is Ty Cobb (played by Tommy Lee Jones), who was, by consensus, not only the greatest all-around baseball player who ever lived, but also the meanest, the dirtiest, the most arrogant, and the most unscrupulous.
		Cobb never goes soft on us, even as he nears death; he's a monster of mythic proportions, bellowing and thrashing and belching fire right to the end.
		I was hoping for more from Cobb's playing days, where all we get is just one scene where he is sharpening the spikes on his shoes and then bets two guys $100 that he would double, then steal third and steal home.

	Michael Sragow chat from May 5, 2001 : The Morning Call Online
		Even when Cobb was at his height as a star, no one could hide all of his excesses, but no one knew the extent of them until Al Stump published his "untold story" in 1994.
		The only movie I can remember that became a hit on that date was "48 Hours." Further, "Cobb" just didn't get the critical support that the filmmakers and the studio hoped for.
		Many movies don't seem to open here or open here very late; even with a movie as prestigious as "The Tailor of Panama," which is a major studio release with big stars, the distributor waited to see how it played in Washington or New York before taking a chance here.
