Additionally who do you often find yourself playing the what if game with?

That 1967 team had a few what ifs. Jim Lonborg tore his knee skiing the Christmas after he won the Cy Young Award and was never the same. Ken Harrelson broke his leg a couple years later and retired at 30. Then their first base coach, Bobby Doerr, had back problems that last year of his career and was out of the league at 33. He also lost a year and change due to military service during World War II.
