Baseball and golf have great literature. Often better than the games

also would recommend 'the bad guys won,' good story about assholes and degenerates winning and doing things the RIGHT way.

I watched the Ken Burns baseball documentary series. Solid as usual. My GF took a surprising interest too. She chose to argue with me about Ty Cobb, who was the biggest prick in the history of the game and possibly the galaxy. She felt he was misunderstood.

Al Stump wrote a fantastic book about Cobb. Cobb was a complicated figure.ThomasFremont said:You know we’ve been inside too long when our girlfriends start white knighting for Ty Cobb.

For sure. But then again he went into the stands and stomped out a disabled guy for some comment about Cobb being black or like a black or half black or something along those lines. Then he justified it saying nobody should have to put up with that even from a guy with no hands. Or maybe he had no feet. One of those.DerekJohnson said:

Dang Derek you should talk to my GF. The two of you surprisingly have something in common. Maybe you could organize an annual Ty Cobb apologist get together.DerekJohnson said:

I believe you that there's more to him than I or most others know. My take is that he was mentally ill from the start. Nobody is that intense without some sort of disorder.
