The Tiger Wore Spikes, first published in 1956, is an insightful, down-to-earth look at the career of baseball great Tyrus "Ty" Cobb (1886-1961), who spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers (the last 6 years as the team's playermanager), followed by several seasons with the Philadelphia Athletics. Written by sports writer John McCallum, the book is based on the author's interviews with Cobb as he reflected back on his long and sometimes controversial career.
