Seller's Description:
Good. xiii, [1], 225, [1] pages. Contains Acknowledgments, Introduction, Appendix: Lifetime Record of Ty Cobb. Sections of black and white photographs follow pages 82 and 130. John Dennis McCallum was a sportswriter and author. He enrolled at Washington State University in 1942, but completed only one year before enlisting in the United States Army, serving from 1943 to 1945 in mountain infantry and tank destroyer units. After a brief stint in professional baseball, playing for the Portland Beavers, McCallum moved to New York City, where he began his sportswriting career. He worked on several newspapers. He served as assistant sports editor of the Newspaper Enterprise Association from 1950-54. As a sportswriter, McCallum wrote books on a variety of topics. One of his most famous works is The Tiger Wore Spikes, a biography of baseball Hall of Famer Ty Cobb. The John D. McCallum Memorial Scholarship in Communication at Washington State University was established in his memory. The author conducted personal interviews with Ty Cobb back in the 1950. Baseball greats including Connie Mack, Mickey Cochrane, Moe Berg, George Sislet, Cy Young, Honus Wagner, Earl Averill, Joe Williams, and Harry Grayson, among many other, shared private memories of Ty Cobb with the author. In twenty-four major league seasons Ty Cobb scored more runs, made more hits, stole more bases, and set more records than any other man in history. The notoriously mean-spirited and confrontational baseball legend had invested his earnings wisely and was still worth millions of dollars nearly three decades after retiring, which is when McCallum began profiling Cobb for the first of two books he'd write about the Detroit Tigers star. Cobb's extreme thriftiness was among the many paradoxes that caught McCallum's attention.

Seller's Description:
Fine in near fine jacket. Fine in bright, crisp dust jacket with only a small crease at the foot of the spine. One of the two best biographies of baseball's Ty Cobb. One of the most complex and driven players ever to tep on the diamond, Cobb was the game's greatest hitter; his all-out, often vicious style of play made him the bane of opposing teams while his fiery, often violent personality made him an outcast among his teammates. A vivid and accurate portrayal of one of the most fascinating figures in 20th century sports.
