"Heart of a Tiger: Growing Up With My Grandfather, Ty Cobb"

Join us for a special event with Herschel Cobb, author of Casey Award winning book, "Heart of a Tiger." Raised in a destructive home with an abusive father and an adulterous, alcoholic mother, Herschel's only saving grace was the memories of summers spent with grandfather and American baseball legend, Ty Cobb. As a baseball player in the major leagues, Ty was known for his ruthless and aggressive ways, but it was his legacy as a grandfather that saved the lives of 3 young children. "Heart of a Tiger" is an account of how a retired sports star seized a second chance at having a close family, with his grandchildren- the lucky recipients of his changed heart. For anyone who treasured moments with their grandparents and everyone who loves to hear stories of an American legend, we invite you to sit in on an afternoon to remember.
