When pursuing an unidentified aircraft, Cobb fired a missile and missed, blowing up the Syrian harbor Latakia. Because he was convinced he had to prove himself, Cobb impulsively continued tailing the aircraft instead of retreating back to headquarters.

Pat Frank seems to use Cobb’s recklessness to illustrate the fact that impetuous actions yield negative effects.

I am certain I can wrap up who Ty Cobb was in a few words. He was a man that had “daddy issues”, as well as anger issues. However, he was also, from what I have read, a great baseball player. Cobb seemed to be dedicated to the game, working hard on-field as well as off-field. Although, I felt like that was more to do with his obsession to be the best or prove his self-worth to his father. Either way, his cruelty both on and off the field seemed to work for him and against him. The players hazed him and from what I gathered were scared of him, as well as the owner wanting to trade him, but unable to do so. He was intelligent, studying a pitcher’s style and technique so he could have an advantage and using intimidation; teams still do this today.

Ty Cobb faced many challenges and struggles early in his life. The incredible, future athlete was born on December 18, 1886. Tyrus Raymond Cobb was born on an old farm near Narrows, Georgia. He was the oldest of three children.
