What exactly am I supposed to be wrong about. I merely posted that the quote you quoted doesn't really sum up the man who had his good side, off the latest research, including the biog by Charles Leerhsen, Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty, which I have read.

In what areas does Alexander's old biography disagree with Leerhson?

As for Alexander, I looked him up and he is quite a prolific author. I noticed he wrote "Holding the Line: the Eisenhower Era, 1952-1961" which I checked out of the library and read many years ago. He is a noted historian.

The issue to me is am I wrong that Cobb in total was not such a bad guy?

A famous black player said Cobb didn't just dislike black people he disliked everyone. Cobb played against Black teams in Cuba as did other great players of his generation.
