Which is your favorite T206 Ty Cobb pose?

...I like the fact you can see his famous batting grip on the Bat On card.

That's why I like the bat off just a little bit better, as it shows his "hands apart" grip, similar to the technique shown in this photo:



I think all the Cobbs from T206 are cool, but the bat off just has everything going for it, putting it at the top of my list.

That was actually a little tongue in cheek. When I was a kid, I was told he held his hands apart when he batted. Only years later, reading quotes from him, did I learn that he didn't swing the bat like that, which is very tough to do. The grip allowed him to bunt easier and if he swung the bat, he slid his top hand down. Basically he said, keep them always guessing. If the infield came in, he could slap one past them, if they didn't, he laid down a bunt
