Hi John
Was that bit of trivia worth waiting for....or what ?
Stories like Thomson's in Base Ball fascinate me.
For instance, what if Harry Frazee (in 1919), who was having serious financial problems with his Theatre interests,
which caused him to sell Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920....had NOT occurred. Would Babe Ruth, not having the
benefit of the Yankees mystique and Miller Huggins, be the mighty legend he was....and still is ?
There are many such stories in BB which has you wondering...."what if" ?
