Tyrus Raymond Cobb born December 18, 1886, at Narrows, Banks County, Georgia, is the famous baseball player. In 1942, Mr. Cobb reported several items of interest and value to our San Francisco Office concerning Security and Espionage. He advised the Bureau that he was willing to furnish information regarding individuals associated with baseball, but the people associated with baseball are patriotic and loyal. He did not think the people in baseball would be of any value to a subversive organization. Mr. and Mrs. Ty Cobb were in Washington on January 28, 1954, and met with Director Hoover and took a tour of the FBI.
