Do some horrible thing that would reveal his inner psychological torment....This book, unlike Al Stump's biography of Ty Cobb, will never be made into a movie, at least not until Hollywood begins to hanker again after characters who are likable, easygoing, accommodating, shy, thrifty, gentle, supportive, and patient.Dennis Devaleria is the author of 'Honus Wagner: A Biography', published 1998 under ISBN 9780822956655 and ISBN 0822956659.
