Popular new movie fails to resuscitate the sports pioneer's important 1964 book on civil rights and baseball.
Wonderful article. One mistake: Ty Cobb has been smeared - he was not the racist people seem to think. Please review ( https://bleacherreport.com/articles/43506-ty-cobb-was-not-a-racist ). Cobb was smeared by Al Stump ( https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-knife-in-ty-cobbs-back-65618032/ ). And remember that he got more votes for the Hall of Fame than the widely worshipped Babe Ruth.
I greatly appreciate that you bring sports, particularly baseball, to Reason the The Fifth Column.
