I wish: - Mickey Mantle played on two good legs for an entire career
- Major League Baseball had integrated long before 1947
- Addie Joss, Lou Gehrig, Roberto Clemente, and many others had not died so young
- Harry Frazee had never sold Babe Ruth
- Baseball had never gone on strike in 1994
- The writers or Veteran's/Era/Whatchamacallit Committee voted in Bonds and Clemens
- The card companies never started cutting up vintage jerseys
- A .300 hitter with 40 stolen bases was considered at least as valuable as a .220 hitter with 40 homers
- Modern fans realized that wins mattered as a pitching stat back when hurlers didn't bail after XX pitches
- Modern fans realized pitchers matter
I could go on and on and on; however, decided to stop after the first ten things crossed my mind. It's time to go look through one of my binder sets.
