Barnstorming - Looking for additional information - and specifically Ty Cobb
We all know of Christy Walsh's individual barnstorming promotions, specifically of Ruth and Gehrig, also post-career barnstorming by Joe Jackson.
And we know of team barnstorming from the 1860s through the House of David and beyond.
But pre-1920, do we know which - individual stars - or groups of players - barnstormed?
Did Ty Cobb barnstorm pre-1920s?
Does anyone have pictures or information regarding baseball stars or groups of baseball players barnstorming pre-1920, and specifically any information on Ty Cobb, who may have been among the most likely.
Also - does anyone have information on Cobb having barnstormed with a group of Tiger players, billed as Cobb's Tigers, and/or information of Cobb having led local barnstorming teams, as Ruth and Gehrig did with team names "Bustin Babes" and "Larrupin Lous", as "Cobb's Tigers"?
