I do not know if it is Ty Cobb or not that is pictured. But my biggest problem with the picture being Ty Cobb is the crowd that is there (or, more precisely, the lack thereof).
If this is Spring Training in Georgia in 1927 and that is Cobb, I would think there would be MORE people standing close by to watch the great one bat. Yes, I get it that it is ONLY Spring Training BUT, Cobb was from Georgia and was still a huge star in 1927. Since there were no MLB team in Georgia or even close by back then, I would have expected people standing five and six deep around the batting cage to see Cobb hit. I also wouldn't expect a vehicle to be parked so close to the field (more people could get in close to see him bat without the truck there). If everything else was equal and this photo were supposed to be from 1907 then, yes, I could see such a small crown since Cobb wasn't well known at that point. But 1927, I would expect more people to be watching. Anyway, my two cents, David
