Cobb
Everyone hated this baseball legend. And he loved it.
Directed by Ron Shelton
Produced by Regency Enterprises, Alcor Films
A tense biographical study of a legendary but deeply unlikable athlete confronting his legacy and isolation in his final days.
Al Stump is a famous sports-writer chosen by Ty Cobb to co-write his official, authorized 'autobiography' before his death. Cobb, widely feared and despised, feels misunderstood and wants to set the record straight about 'the greatest ball-player ever,' in his words.
