Ty Cobb, arguably the greatest baseball player ever, still holds the highest career batting average of .367. But behind all the glamour and astounding statistics lied one of the most hated men in baseball; a demon-filled soul whose racist, sexist and drunken ways left an everlasting impression on the world around him. Acclaimed sports subject wizard Ron Shelton ("BULL DURHAM") and Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones brilliantly bring to life a passionate perspective of the post baseball days of the most controversial legend ever to lace up the spikes and play America’s favorite pastime.

Everyone hated this baseball legend. . . and he loved it.
