Jack Weatherford is a professor of anthropology at Macalaster College. He's very knowledgeable about Mongolia and wrote a nice book (
Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World) about how history is unfair to Genghis Khan, and he was actually a visionary leader who created advancements in technology, trade, and the exchange of ideas. It's a fine work, but it doesn't change my opinion that Genghis Khan was a brutal conqueror who killed thousands of people.
Your link is thought provoking, but it does not change my opinion of Ty Cobb at all.
