Thanks.

Yes. Cobb's uniform dates specifically to 1912 because of the collar style, light collar color which matches uniform, dark hat color and white buttons. It looks like Ty is wearing the 1912 Tigers road uniform, but he may not necessarily be on the road. He could have thrown on a road uniform while at home just for this shoot. Ty was know to get his uniform dirty now and again. Could it be that his home uniform was dirty?
Thanks for your research Bob. I really do appreciate it.
I am planning on starting the eBay auction for this photo tomorrow evening (Sat). Hopefully I can id the stadium by then. I will also be selling original pre-war photos of Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove, Gehrig, Dizzy, Feller and others. I am cleaning house...it is spring.
I'll add a thread over on the buy/sell/trade area with more info.
Again, thanks Bob!
