Another Conversation with Ty Cobb.

Sportsmen's Sketches: Mr. Cobb, would you give us your thoughts on the first quarter of the Major League Baseball season?

Ty Cobb: Well, them Cubs look good. Damn right they do, and they may even deserve to win it. I was a goddamn third year player last time they did.

SS: Mr. Cobb, you must be disappointed with the poor start of the much-ballyhooed Detroit Tigers.

TC: Look, I like that Leyland. It's too bad he's got a bunch of goddamn p*ssies on his club. You tell me you go out and get some expensive "All-Stars" and they already 10 games under and I'll tell you them f*ckers'd be better off on the bench knitting scarves for their goddamn mothers. Sh*t put them on the field, least they'd have some real men out there.

SS: Mr. Cobb, could you give us your thoughts on the Roger Clemens scandal?

TC: I'll tell you right now that kid could throw the sh*t out of the ball. Was he cheating? Goddamn right he was. Does every player cheat? Goddamnit, they did in my day. That's why they call it a game. But I'll tell you one thing, you make a dumbass Texan think that he's the king of all god's creation, then you get a dumbass Texan babbling and blaming god knows who with his thumb whoever's ass he can find, including his own.

SS: Thank you, Mr. Cobb.

TC: Don't thank me, boy. And tell that Lueker his ass is mine.
