Giving this one star hurts. It was a good movie. Tommy Lee Jones did a great job. Robert Wuhl did a great job. Ron Shelton did a great job... ...but Al Stump did baseball a great disservice with his pack of lies. There was no need to fabricate an already interesting life and drag Ty Cobb through the mud. As a historian, I respect that movies can NOT be 100% accurate...but as a baseball fan, this is just insulting. Especially insulting given that we are still talking about, we are still worshiping the players of that era. This is worse for baseball's legend than steroids, worse than what they did to Jackson's good name. As much as I respect the hard work and talent that went into this film. I can't respect what Al Stump did to the legends and myths of baseball. Mr. Jones, Mr. Wuhl, Mr. Shelton, I am sorry. I can't give this more than a single star, but its not because of the job any of you did, it's because of the insult Stump paid to baseball. It breaks the heart watching this, reliving the lies that tarnished my favorite sport.
