Nice. If I wanted to read a bunch of immuture crap I'd go to Cubs.com

 

I gave up trying to take it seriously, because half the responses weren't serious to begin with and everytime I said "get serious", I'm accused of only letting players in that I want.

Maybe my favorite thing about message boards: condescension with spelling errors.

Only a unbelievable racist would put Ty Cobb on a list of good baseball players.

"Only an unbelievable racist..."

Only an unbelievable racist would put Ty Cobb on a list of good baseball players.

 

Why? Just Cobb's well known racism shouldn't exclude him from being judged on his baseball ability......George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slaveowners so does that mean they can't be judged as great Presidents?

 

As a minority I don't have to like Ty Cobb as a person, but that certainly wouldn't affect my belief that he should be considered one of the all-time baseball greats.....

 

On another note, I also think Adrian "Cap" Anson to be an all-time great and he was just as much (if not more) of a racist than Cobb was......
