Kenny and Peter- wow, you guys knew the lyrics for "At Seventeen." I'm impressed- I didn't know them. Maybe "Society's Child", but not that one. Well done.

If that was golfer Bobby Jones standing next to him I would say yes. But I voted no.

Barry,
I remember stuff like that -- lyrics to a song I probably haven't heard in 30 years -- better than I remember what I did yesterday. It is a fairly depressing situation.

1906 Sporting Life
Here is a photo of Cobb in 1906, making him 19 years old on the Sporting Life postcard.
I don't think that is Cobb at all, let alone at age 17. I can't seem to figure out how to do a side by side comparison of each photo. Maybe a kind board member can?? Tony

Getting back to the Cobb photo, Cobb was relatively thin as a rookie, and would have been so at age 17. The man in the photo looks somewhat stocky and quite a bit older, probably in his twenties. I think someone found a look alike and just added the identification at the bottom. I am so suspicious of this type of photograph. Every time we see one of these with a caption that was added much later, it almost always is misidentified. I think anyone who buys this is buying a headache.
