Don't Waste Your Money
Between 1950 and 1969, I grew up in Detroit where Ty Cobb was a legend. His name (with no uniform number) is on the outfield wall along where the names and numbers of other Tigers players are displayed, with their numbers being retired. I was expecting this movie to show highlights of his baseball career which led to him being the highest voter-getter in the original Cooperstown Hall of Fame class inducted. Instead, there was very little baseball in the movie and it showed him during his retirement life around age 71. It depicts him as a crass, foul-mouthed individual with no redeeming qualities, who uses a revolver to shoot cockroaches off of walls in hotel rooms. The language was so bad that my wife and daughter-in-law left the movie room at our house. I only watched it until the end because I had hopes that the movie would change direction in a positive manner. It didn't. Extremely disappointing and a waste of Tommy Lee Jones' talent. Don't waste your money on this dvd.
