A lot of that is due to the historical span of career. Regardless, I sure do look forward to reading them.

Everyone knows what a great ballplayer he was while his behavior could be lacking. Until recently, I did not know about the Ty Cobb Foundation, www.tycobbfoundation.com "The Foundation was established by the late Tyrus R. Cobb for the purpose of assisting capable and deserving residents of Georgia who need financial assistance in completing their college education." "Foundation scholarships are granted to qualified students for the purpose of attending an accredited college or university full time." "All scholarships are granted without subsequent obligation of the student to the Foundation; however, former recipients and others are urged to make contributions to the Ty Cobb Educational Foundation when circumstances permit." So it seems Mr. Cobb had a good side too. I guess you already knew about this, but wanted to send you this note just in case. Alan Towery Mr. Bisher,

I am afraid to use a name but I recall at least one former winner of the British Open saying he would trade it for one Green Jacket. I will still take the Masters over any other--maybe it is just the setting but maybe because I was lucky to attend it back in Arnie's and Jack's days. Good time in the storied history of golf.
