Interesting.If Cobb went there Jackson's career probably would have been untarnished.

And there is probably a good chance if Cleveland had both Cobb and Jackson, they would have been looking to shore up their pitching staff sometime around 1916 to get over the hump. The Red Sox might have traded Babe Ruth to Cleveland instead of New York.

Now that's an interesting over-write! Good point.
