Cobb - Trailer

Tyrus Raymond Cobb played baseball like a man charging a machine-gun nest. He gave no quarter, took no prisoners. And when his Hall of Fame career was over, Ty Cobb attacked life the same way. Tommy Lee Jones portrays the legendary -- and equally cheered and detested -- Georgia Peach in this acclaimed film from writer/director Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, Dark Blue), also starring Robert Wuhl and Lolita Davidovich. From its recapturing of the outfielder's playing days (Roger Clemens portrays a rival pitcher) to its recreation of a 1961 Hall of Fame banquet, Cobb is a movie grand slam.

[@slaymyface1357]

@@andelowens6391 not true, he was actually just a hard nose player, he only sharpened his spikes once to show and advocate players to dull their spikes. The scene where he supposedly kicked the catcher in the groin, he actually kicked his glove to get the ball loose and the catcher even was quoted to saying it was his fault for not stepping to the side and swipe tagging him. So he wasn't a dirty player

The Georgia Peach is one of the absolute greatest baseball players ever. While Tommy Lee Jones did a great job and had some hilarious moments and antics in the film, the film was an inaccurate depiction about Cobb. He was fiery, fearless, and fiercely competitive, but he also had his good points about him as a ballplayer and a human being.

[@eddieflynn3889]

The studio did not have the budget to make a Ty Cobb movie so they made a movie about a writer fighting a 72 year old retired ball player for 2 hours with 5 minutes of baseball scenes.

But it's hilarious.

[@MrRedforman1]

I believe Ty Cobb called Babe Ruth a damn bean eater in the John Goodman movie. It is true that Babe Ruth struck out Ty Cobb as a pitcher, but that was when Cobb first met him. Later in time, they became good friends.

[@oilersridersbluejays]

True. Ty Cobb was renowned to intensify rivalries and invent rivalries as he saw fit. Not that he actually hated any of his rivals, he just knew how to push buttons to give himself an edge. Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth were indeed good friends, especially later in life.

This movie was not great...However Cobb was really complicated. He was good and also had his moments. If you listen to Larry Ritter's recordings of old time ball players, you'll hear a lot of players talk about Cobb. Some hated him and some got along with him. Many did described him more as a loner and didn't have many true friends in MLB.

[@hydrolito]

So other than getting his name right and some of his baseball statistics how much of this movie is based on actual evidence?

[@danielsmith608]

hydrolito Haha this is so true. I just clicked on another Ty Cobb clip on youtube "Rare Ty Cobb Radio Interview" in which he actually praised Babe Ruth as the best hitter of all time. In the movie he the only nice thing he could say is that Ruth was fast for a fat man. Obviously, movies will embellish quite a bit but yeah it makes you wonder how much of it is accurate.

[@SpartanR]

+daniel smith +hydrolito His opinion of Ruth changed over time. This movie is full of inaccuracies, but Cobb hated Ruth in his younger days, then they grew to be friends. Similarly, Cobb was quite racist as a young man, but so was everyone else...that was what children were taught. As he aged, he began to soften (a little) and saw the error of his ways. Yes, Cobb was an angry person, but I would be too if my mother shot my father twice in the head and I was hazed and threatened with death on a daily basis as he was. He had to be mean to protect himself. He's extremely misunderstood and I don't think this film does him any justice.

[@ODER66MIKE]

[@LibertyEventsNetwork]

+daniel smith - It is not very accurate at all. We've all learned about him from a fraudulent biography. This history of Cobb cited at this link is a must read.

[@daviddufresne343]

I like Cobb despite his mistakes, he was from a different time, but there is too much revisionism about him these days. He bullwhipped his own son after the boy got kicked out of college. Granted I think it was the third time that happened and Ty had had to pull some strings to get him into a good college, but still, not the actions of a kind man. Everyone will admit that he did attack a black groundskeeper as a rookie which seeming to be unprovoked. He was being brutally physically hazed at the time chiefly by a former sparring partner of Jack Johnson (a white guy, but I imagine he must have been a tough customer to keep up with Jack at all) so maybe that mitigates the incident a bit, but still I think it was definitely a racist act. Yes, his family members were progressive southerners, that doesn't mean Ty himself was though. His mom shot his dad to death when he caught her with another man, and not long after he was hazed so badly he took to carrying a loaded gun for protection. It got so bad he was secretly checked into a mental facility for about six weeks. The team gradually traded away his tormenters and as Ty matured he was a tough fight for just about anyone short of a boxer, plus he was making the team win so the players didn't want him to leave anymore. He softened with time, but any man, white or black who disrespected Cobb was in for a physical fight. That even included umpires. I'm trying to think of someone like him today, I guess Ron Artest of the NBA is the closest I can think of, although Cobb definitely would have fought Wallace. He did play against black players (as did most successful white players of the time) in barnstorming games and in Cuba, but some of the most racist players would not play in those games. Unfortunately stats of those games are limited, but generally speaking stars like Cobb and Ruth performed similarly against black players as they did against their white counterparts. Had the league been integrated but not expanded some of the marginal white players would have lost their jobs, but is unlikely Cobb or Ruth would have had anyone to challenge them in their respective strengths (batting average for Cobb, homers for Ruth). Now speed, that would have brought Cobb down a notch or two. But even he admitted he wasn't the fastest player even among the white players, he had decent speed and used a lot of mind games and tricks to get a base others wouldn't. He didn't sharpen his spikes, but he considered the basepath to belong to the runner, and if you were in his way it was fair game to knock you down or take you out with a hard slide. He was not considered a dirty player in his time, but more relentless. I have no idea what his early thinking on integration was, but after seeing the success of Jackie Robinson he gave it a lot of positive comments. And a lot of old white America did not take so easily to it, it was quite some time before the Yankees and Red Sox integrated so Cobb's comments probably helped the situation not be a one off. Cobb liked people that could play and play hard, so near the end of his life he said Willy Mays was the only guy he'd pay to see play. I don't think he liked a guy like Mickey Mantle whose boozing got in the way of his baseball.

[@parmaniac]

Really good assessment. Tyrus had it rough in the beginning, bordering on being the victim of sociopaths, and it fueled him with an uncommon intensity and distrust for the rest of his life. A great player and very good man with some serious psychological defects. As rough as his treatment of his son was, can you IMAGINE if he had a kid like Williams’ or Joe D’s malcontents???

[@johnpaval9646]

One look at this trailer and I can only BEMOAN the fact that this film was ever made the way it was. No no no. I am a great fan of Tommy Lee Jones, but he is ALL WRONG for the role of Ty Cobb. In the first place, he is now so damn old that a quick glance at the scenes in the preview supposedly showing him play ball as a young man are ludicrous. For chrissake, you can see the turkey gobbler extra flab of an old man's neck clearly in those shots, and Cobb was about as lean and mean as you come when he was young. This film DESECRATES that historical fact by trying to make a seventy some year old actor look like a buff young ball player. In the second instance, the opening shots of Cobb in his apartment, I'm sorry, they make him look like some kind of a drag queen, reminiscent of the great part that Jones played in Oliver Stone's JFK, a drag queen working for the CIA. But you CANNOT do that to a guy like Cobb, who was heterosexual muscle to the hilt. Sorry, this whole film is a travesty. You cannot make it with these elements. It would be like trying to do the Wizard of Oz with Madonna in the role of Judy Garland. When it doesn't fit, it doesn't FIT. I'm disgusted by it. But that's Hollywood. They figure, well Cobb was a southerner, let's get Tommy Lee Jones, he's a southerner. And, well, we'll just fake the scenes of the youthful Cobb. Bullshit, all the faking in the world cannot fix this turd of a film...

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Ty Cobb wasn't a racist, at least not in his day. He was a proponent of integration in both MLB and in everyday life. Many blacks in both the media, sportsworld, and everyday life praised his support for all races to play ball. I'm paraphrasing here but he said somewhere along the lines of: "of course blacks should play in the MLB as long as they conduct themselves in a fair manner, and whites should conduct themselves in a fair manner as well." Ty Cobb was somewhat bigoted, but he was no racist.
