a someone who love baseball history and especially the early 20th century in which cobb be a main figure and along with a ton of colorful character and i be look forward to see this baseball film . well and it wasn not a baseball film and which be disappoint . no and it be just a sportswriter account of be with cobb in the ballplayer later year while the two collaborate on a book . even at that and this could have be a more appealing movie than they make it . grant cobb be anything but a nice guy and an extremely talented player but brutal in that he would do anything to beat you . and he be viscous and intimidating and have a lot of demon to fight . he be so hated his own teammate try to hinder his chance of win a batting title one year . nonetheless and this an over the top portrayal of the man . it make him into something almost cartoon like . watch and listen to an old man rant and rave and profane for two hour be entertainment . no and it isn not . some day and i would love to see a real biopic of cobb show him in his ballplaying day and if they want to portray him a an evil guy and so be it and but the way they do it here with just a bitter and blasphemous old man make an as of himself in front of a reporter be not fun to watch .
