The previously untold legacy of Ty Cobb Ty Cobb is a baseball
immortal, considered by many the greatest player who ever lived. In
an age when the game was young and tough, he cultivated a
reputation as the fiercest competitor of them all. Yet after he
retired, he realized that the very qualities that helped him reach
the pinnacle of his profession also undermined his relationship
with his own children. He was deeply depressed when two of his sons
died at a very young age. Cobb never had the chance to bridge the
emotional distance between them. Herschel Cobb grew up in a
chaotic, destructive household. His father was cruel and abusive,
and his mother was an adulterous alcoholic. After his father died,
when Herschel was eight, he began to spend a portion of each summer
with his grandfather. Along with his sister and brother, Herschel
visited Ty Cobb at his home in Atherton, California, or at his
cabin at Lake Tahoe. These days were filled with adventures,
memorable incidents, and discoveries as "Granddaddy" warmed to
having his "three redheads" with him. Heart of a Tiger is Herschel
Cobb's moving account of how a retired sports star seized a second
chance at having a close family, with his grandchildren the lucky
recipients of his change of heart. He provided wisdom, laughter,
and a consistent affection that left an indelible mark. He proved
the enormous power of a grandparent to provide stability, love, and
guidance. As he developed this new, wholly different legacy, in
turn he would finally come to peace with himself.
