My grandfather said he was the greatest baseball player ever. My grandfather came from the maritimes and I find their mannerisms quite similar to Southerners. This movie portrays Cobb as a great athlete but a lousy person. A guess sports has not changed much. This movie shows how diverse and complicated people can be. The movie shows the man's life and the fruits of his actions on and off the field. It was sort of a sad movie in the end. How one can waste so much.6/10
