Cannot believe that Ty Cobb has his arm around him, Cobb was known to be such a racist.....

:WTF:

J-man, I don't know if it was satire... but that picture was evidently taken in early 1900's and I confirmed it from the site where you had the picture coming from. The year was 1909. So Franco's parents was probably not even in that era! Ha.

<table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="8">
</td><td>This photo, taken at Bennett Park in 1909, shows Detroit Tiger George Mullin with "Li'l Rastus" and an unidentified Tiger player. Despite the fact that Detroit Tiger (and vocal racist) Ty Cobb displiked playing in exhibition games against Negro League players, Li'l Rastus was his mascot. Most likely this comes from the belief that rubbing the head of an African-American brought good luck.

Not sure I understand either...do you think I didn't realize a picture with Ty Cobb in it would somehow include Julio Franco?

Cheers

Hence the age of the player the thread was about, it was a JOKE

What you could do is edit the title to say:

"Ageless wonder Julio Franco pictured with Ty Cobb when he was a kid...."

That *will* elicit responses.... :aktion033

To answer the question, Hell Yeah. Are you kidding? A fearsome and well respected hitter that can hurt you at anytime.

Franco is so old he occasionally picks cotton in left feild between innings. Bad habits die hard.
