Known as "the meanest man in baseball," Ty Cobb was also one of the greatest players in the sport's history and the first inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Lee Blessing takes a unique approach to examining the complex life of this ruthless competitor using three different actors to portray Cobb at different periods of his tumultuous life.  Here the alter-ego Cobbs confront their inner demons along with a specter of the so-called "black Cobb," a Negro League contemporary now all but forgotten, named Oscar Charleston.  This revealing profile of blind ambition is not to be missed.
