Yep...don’t like Dylan, and never worshiped at his altar, but I recognize that he was an original. Hey...Ty Cobb was arguably the greatest baseball player ever, but NOT a nice man.

"Ty Cobb was arguably the greatest baseball player ever, but NOT a nice man."

Not meaning to hijack my own thread but I remember a great Ty Cobb anecdote in Ken Burns "Baseball". One of Cobb's teammates and roommates told the story of how every day when he went back to their hotel he would find Cobb relaxing in the bathtub ahead of him. Well one day for some reason or another this unlucky guy had a chance to get to the hotel first. He climbed into the tub of suds and was there when Cobb came in. Cobb became enraged and pulled him bodily from the tub. Then Cobb threw him to the floor and grabbing him by the shoulders screamed, "You don't understand! I have to be FIRST!"
