| Summary: | Covering the years 1900 to 1910, this program introduces some of baseball's most celebrated and colorful characters-including Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, and Ty Cobb. The film spotlights Cobb's reputation as perhaps the most aggressive and least likeable player in the history of the game (a standing reflected in the episode's title, drawn from one of the outfielder's belligerent remarks). Viewers also learn about the formation of the American League, its rise to major league classification alongside the National League, and the creation of the World Series. |
