Publisher's Synopsis
Ty Cobb was one of baseball's legends alongside Babe Ruth and Willie Mays. He was also a racist, a wife-beater and a drunk disliked by the fans and team-mates alike. Approaching death, he contracts sports writer Al Stump to write his biography. As Stump becomes more involved with Cobb, becoming as much a servant as a journalist, Cobb's story is told in flashback, with all the scandals on and off the ball park exposed.
