Baseball with its storied history tuned in to the heartbeat of America has many stories to be told and there are many more which will excape being told.
What was the temperament and characterization of Babe Ruth? If there is one item of his life and his impact upon the screen of American baseball which is missing it must really be very very obscure.
You and I could name the greats of baseball which have filled the pages of history of the sport and still there would be some morsel of infinite information left out of our exhausting and thorough list. Detail upon detail have been chronicled about our baseball heroes.
Using George Herman Ruth alias "The Babe" the "Great Bambino" or the bigger than life holder of the baseball single season record for home runs with 60 round trippers for several decades is something we know.
Joe Di Maggio and his great season of hitting safely in 56 consecutive games and Don Larsen and his no hit game of the World Series are headline catching great moments we recount and tell about over and over.
We have all seen and read of the great exploits of the "Spendid Splinter" and his most unusual eye for hitting which is the honor given to Ted Williams.
There is much we do know of our baseball great players but then again there is much which we wish we knew. The quest for even the smallest detail is part of the American yearning to know all about their baseball heroes.
However, well ahead and before the above mentioned greats of the game of baseball made their mark upon the sport there was a roust-about player who gave and received no quarter when performing on the baseball diamond.
The indomitable ball of fury known as the "Georgia Peach" one Tyrus Raymond Cobb (Ty Cobb) one of the greats to play baseball was also a Free Mason.
There you have it "Ty Cobb" was a Free Mason.
