I heard a story locally that the Tigers used to play games in Oxford, MI in the early 1900's.

Here's an interesting thread about the 1912 and 1913 Michigan teams that played with Cobb...

In 1911 James McAleer arranged a post season game in Richmond and one of the letters about that game, from W H Fowler, listed a starting lineup that included Cobb, (along with Speaker and Milan) as a member of the "dixie outfield". I only have a copy of the original letter at this time.
