Divided loyalties in Ty Cobb’s family
(MCT) — SAN FRANCISCO — The grandson of the most renowned player ever to wear a Detroit Tiger uniform will be rooting against family history Wednesday when the World Series opens at AT&T Park.
“Ty Cobb would be very excited about his Tigers playing in the World Series,” said Herschel Cobb, the 69-year-old descendant of one of baseball’s most colorful and controversial figures. “But we live in the Bay Area and have been Giants fans for a long time. We’re going to be rooting for the home team to prevail.”
