Agree with Jay - something about the uniform being lost or stolen, or he just forgot it, so he was given a Cleveland one to use for the game.

The story I had heard a while ago was that he forgot to pack it. Whatever the case, makes for a cool photo!

I toured Cleveland stadium two years ago and the tour guide said Cobb's uniform was stolen on the train ride down from Detroit.

Cobb had to borrow a Cleveland uniform for the game.

It was a very good tour (I would recommend it) for $7.50 a person. Since baseball season was in progress we couldn't go into the locker rooms, but we got to visit every other part of the stadium.
