Herschel Cobb is the grandson of Ty Cobb. He lives in Menlo Park, California.
"A personal memoir can enrich the statistical account, as does this
one about the great Ty Cobb. Readers should find justice has been
done to the Georgia Peach." -- Ron Kirbyson, the Winnipeg Free
Press
"Actions sometimes speak louder than words. But Herschel Cobb's
words speak volumes on why The Georgia Peach just might have always
been a peach of a man that no one could find out, unless you were
kinfolk and not a prying member of the media like Al Stump trying
to fulfill an assignment." -- Tom Hoffarth, Farther Off the
Wall
"Elegantly written and genuinely moving, this heartwarming account
is sure to resonate with readers." -- Publishers Weekly
"I could rave about this book for hours and I feel I would still
never do it justice. It's a book that hooks the reader from the
very beginning and in spite of the sometimes difficult content,
keeps you hanging on until the very end." -- Charlene Martel, The
Literary Word
"Not your grandfather's Ty Cobb? Perhaps not. But Ty Cobb was
Herschel Cobb's grandfather. And the story Herschel Cobb tells
reveals a far gentler side to his grandfather, one buried deep
beneath the persona Ty Cobb created during his playing days. Heart
of a Tiger: Growing up with My Grandfather, Ty Cob is a warm,
sentimental memoir. Herschel Cobb is not trying to write a
revisionist history of his grandfather; he is merely retelling the
memories he had of 'Granddaddy, ' never realizing until he was a
teenager that Ty Cobb was a famous -- and sometimes polarizing --
baseball player." -- Bob D'Angelo, Tampa Tribune
