Synopsis

Al Stump, a sportswriter, is summoned to the bedside of the ailing Ty Cobb, a former great Baseball star, to ghostwrite his autobiography. He finds a man who is violent and a racist and balks at having to write a glowing account of him. Stump begins to write an honest portrait of Cobb in secret but at the same time begins to realise the complexity of his life.
