I see the resemblance - by FAR not the craziest one of these that we've seen - but don't believe that is him.

This will likely be our first 100% unanimous poll.

Did Ty Cobb play for the Sleepy Hollow Saints?

Not likely to be Cobb, because Ty knew how to wear a glove.

Brian (I just gave away that it is the middle player that has some resemblance to Cobb, although the player on the right has the leaning stance that screams .366)

Maybe the guy on the far right but definitely not either of the other 2.

The person who voted they don't know has their occupation as "fool". I tend to believe them.

It's not Cobb, but I think the guy on the left might be Joe Jackson

Whoever is suggesting to you that it could be Cobb, wouldn't be able to point themselves out in a family picture. Not even close.

I have to admit, the guy in the middle does somewhat look like a younger me.

I take it back. I'm not the guy in the middle, I'm the one on the right missing his head.
