What critics compared Cobb to
Like Cobb (the ex-ballplayer Ron Shelton's devastating movie portrait of the monstrous baseball star Ty Cobb), Moneyball has few scenes out on the field, none of them sustained.
Not since Cobb, the 1994 Ty Cobb drama that could have been called Sourball, has baseball had such adulthood on screen.
The most recent joint effort between actor Wuhl and "Open Season" executive producer Ron Shelton was the latter's "Cobb," an even more serious misfire due in part to Wuhl's poor thesping abilities.
