• 21:1821:18, 26 August 2018 diff hist +1,865 Ty Cobb →Reported violence and bigotry: An entirely new addition: Cobb and anti-Semitism. Where to place it in under this subhead may be worth some consideration. Offhand, sticking it at the very end may make sense so as not to wreck the flow of what precedes it.

• 19:5519:55, 25 August 2018 diff hist +1,177 Dick Redding author Rosenberg citing his new book for its Cannonball Redding reference. Interestingly, perhaps, 1984 Cobb book-length biographer Charles C. Alexander mentioned the 1916 New Haven exhibition game without noting the Cannonball Redding angle. However, 2015 Cobb book-length biographer Tim Hornbaker did mention the Redding angle. Rosenberg was able to put a finer touch on the matter in his book, by noting Redding as an Atlanta native, to match up with Cobb being from Narrows, Ga.

• 12:0912:09, 14 August 2018 diff hist +1,127 Ty Cobb →Reported violence and bigotry: this is my book's big enchilada, because arguably my one other big racially negative one, Cobb's playing African Dodger in 1911, had been previously disclosed on a racial museum's Web site. Rosenberg dug the columns out of a newspaper database that contains the Boston Herald.

23 July 2018

• 01:0901:09, 23 July 2018 diff hist +1,053 Ty Cobb →Reported violence and bigotry: Arguably the "tying up of loose ends" highlight of my book (involving Cobb's second wife and Stump, albeit with some informed speculation so as to try to make sense of it all). This addition also inserts overlooked 2015 Cobb author Tim Hornbaker into the Wikipedia Cobb entry (for the first time?)
• 00:4700:47, 23 July 2018 diff hist −58 m Ty Cobb →Reported violence and bigotry: removing the fullest version of the title of my book from this particular reference, since it's no longer the earliest one -- and I may have hold off on reinserting it until I figure out where my earliest book reference can logically appear.

• 23:1623:16, 19 July 2018 diff hist +2 Ty Cobb →Reported violence and bigotry: minor footnote formatting correction
• 23:1423:14, 19 July 2018 diff hist +1,486 Ty Cobb →Reported violence and bigotry: In ostensibly looking tonight to add a reference to Cobb's heavy drinking in the 1950s (and likely in Stump's presence in 1960-61), Rosenberg was instead surprised to notice, amid some of the entry's Stump references, a "sweet spot" to encapsulate the counter nature of his new book. Rosenberg now plans to insert a drinking reference in his next addition.

18 July 2018

• 23:1323:13, 18 July 2018 diff hist +789 Ty Cobb →Post professional career: a write-through of Cobb's 1930s views on the state of the game, to stress his lively ball criticism, and more accurately casting Cobb's smoking. His heavy drinking (to be Rosenberg's next change) is best stressed in the 1950s, and possibly related to trying to offset great physical pain.

This page's referee can plausibly eliminate the unwieldy Marvin Miller quote and use my add-in from an expert, Charles Alexander

1 July 2016

• 21:5021:50, 1 July 2016 diff hist +4,576 Baseball color line by Anson biographer Rosenberg: the 19th-century section had weak sourcing and some errant footnotes. One error was having the wrong year for Anson's first incident at Toledo: it is 1883. I have added in three authors to help spread out the narrative.
