EXCLUSIVE: Brian Kemp predicts a backlash over MLB withdrawal from Atlanta Print this article
Joe Cobb was born with both Georgia and baseball in his blood. He is related to both the Detroit Tigers legend Ty Cobb and to Thomas Willis Cobb, the founder of the suburban Atlanta county where the Braves now play.
It is only natural for him to have a deep affinity to both baseball and his home state. His team has always been the Atlanta Braves. “I cannot emphasize enough how deep my love for the Braves has been my entire life,” he said from his home in suburban Atlanta.
