Since Cobb was one of the most ardent racists in baseball history, does he belong in the HOF? Does Schilling deserve not to because of an opinion?

[Hang on Sloopy]

A lot of baseball HOFs are the seediest characters ever.

One does not get in because of his opinions? Whoever would think it would come to this?

And all those GD managers and owners knew the players were getting all juiced up in the Roid Era. Bunch of bullshit.

Even Vizquel won't get in because of abuse ALLEGATIONS!

Sports writers choose the hof inductees

Why are you so sure that Ty Cobb was an ardent racist?

Because I have read extensively about the HOFs. That seem odd a man from Ga in the 1920's be that way...lol

Should Sen. Jim Bunning be thrown out of Cooperstown for his conservatism ? Should Jackie Robinson be shown the door for his membership in the GOP?

Yet you have nothing to base that on other than the writings of a man named Al Stump who had never met Cobb but spent a couple days with him before writing a bunch of lies. That's all you got. And you and other character assassins think that all you need is repetition in order to destroy a man's legacy. Why Stump would do something like this...who knows. jeolousy, poetic license, the desire to make money off a book that destroys another man's career?

Read his biography. In other news, no record of him abusing any black people physically, and he verbally abused far more white people in his life, so not a big deal. He was a misanthrope, like several famous black actors are..

LOLOL.Most white players would not even play against a black player in those days. One book? I've read many by the HOF's about Cobb. He had mental issues. He so loved his father that when his mom shot him to death, he was forever crushed.

Daddy thought momma was having an affair. Climbed the back of the house up to the bedroom to catch her and she wasn't. She mistook him and blam blam

anyway baseball was RACIST AS FOOKIN HELL back then.

My God every white man is called a racist if they don't bow to the Obama Baby Jeebes. Now Cobb, a deep Southerner wasn't...lol

Sure. When you write your biography make sure you mention all the things you aren't prod of and embellish the hell outta everything else.LOLOL......Just like every other stinkin human would.

Read his biography. LOL Al Stump's hit piece on Cobb has been questioned for decades. Even then....you guys should know better than to believe everything you read.

and what do northerners do to escape the race card being thrown at them? why they continue to lie about southern racism.

Rubbish. I played a lot of sports, right up into my 40's. Cobb was nothing unusual among athletes, most of whom are poor role models for kids and teenagers, especially those in the pro leagues; most are just thugs who wear numbers on their shirts during a game, is all.

y'all are gonna believe what you want. Cause you're damn lazy.
