Description
Book SynopsisMost previous published works about Ty Cobb, the first player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, paint him as a much hated athlete and lonely, old man. Ty Cobb: Safe At Home offers a deeper insight into his private life in Augusta, Georgia.
Trade Review“Don Rhodes of the popular "Ramblin' Rhodes" syndicated music columns may be the first man ever to make (Ty) Cobb appear human — which is not to say normal. Ty Cobb: Safe at Home is the best book to date about baseball's strangest and most extreme personality.” --Houston Chronicle
