A color photo of the Babe is possible, even if one probably doesn't exist.
A color film of the Babe is also just barely possible, and also probably does not exist. (Oddly, a color photo would be possible of nearly all baseball players, although it didn't become common enough until the late 30's
Cobb would probably be using an I phone today, and would probably be texting about how he invested in these things back when they were the size of a shoebox and only made phone calls.
