About Al Stump
- Alvin John "Al" Stump (October 20, 1916 – December 14, 1995), was an American author and sports writer.
- Stump spent time with Detroit Tigers' Hall of Fame baseball player Ty Cobb in 1960 and 1961 collaborating on Cobb's autobiography.
- My Life in Baseball: A True Record was released shortly after Cobb's death.
- From this research, Stump later went on to write at least two books and at least one magazine article on Cobb. Cobb: The Life and Times of the Meanest Man Who Ever Played Baseball and Cobb: A Biography were follow-up pieces written over thirty years after Cobb died.
- Both books, represented by Stump as a reflection on his time with Cobb, have now been discredited as sensationalized and, in large part, fictional.
