I believe it is actually a poison dart from blowgun of a member of the Quetcozuel tribe of the upper Amazonian basin.

Brian (no such tribe, but the poison is deadly)

Looks like a syringe. Maybe Cobb was using steroids? It might explain his frequent fits of rage...

It’s actually an aerial shot of Cobb on his back after a tranquilizer dart.

Always wanting to be stylin', Cobb wore his wristwatch on the field and when this shot was taken, the band on the watch had just broken.

Tyrus turned 134 last December, of course he would be first in line for the Covid vaccine.

I’ll say extra sharpened spike in case there’s a mostly peaceful altercation surrounding a call on the base path.

It's a bird. It's a little known fact that Cobb killed a bird during a game decades before Randy Johnson.

If you look really, really close at the object under a magnifying loupe, it's a tag on his shirt that a team-mate has cheekily penned in the words "Billy Ripken".

Default Question....

All kidding aside, it is very clear and looks more than a printing blemish. It does resemble a tag or something. what is strange is that no other E98 Cobb's (all colors) have this on them. I found one other Green that had what looked like a blemish in that area but that is the closest I found.

Pretty cool either way you look at it!

Peace, Mike
