Your biggest what if's and thoughts on Tony Conigliaro?
I've always enjoyed looking through the past careers of players, especially ones that we often attach "what if?" to. I see how he was the fastest to 100 Home Runs for an American League player, and the numbers did look promising but numbers only tell so much. Anyone here see him play and could give me their honest opinion of him?
Additionally who do you often find yourself playing the what if game with?

Ray Fosse,
I wonder at time how good he could have been if Pete Rose would not have bowled him over during an All-Star game. Fosse did not have a bad career but maybe it would have been better if not for that collision. |

I heard at one point they were going to make a movie about him, but have not seen anything lately on that.

Hollywood would turn him into a transgender, illegal immigrant minority to appeal to the 'woke' snowflakes.

What if players
Would have liked to see Thurman Munson play out his career. One of the top catchers at the time of his demise. HOF? Being aYankee might have helped his chances.
The other player was Lyman Bostock. Put up good numbers his first couple seasons but was shot and killed. Never got the chance Didn’t get to see Tony C play but still collected all his cards. Brett |

Bostock is a tragic story, I heard he was a fantastic Contact hitter. Another guy that comes to mind is Pitcher, Herb Score. Had some great years before that comebacker.

I would have liked to see Jackie's full career. Or what Hideki Matsui could have done.

Did you see where yesterday Brandeis University declared words such as policeman and congressman to be abusive because they aren't gender neutral? I thought that was an important step in fixing the world, myself. Next thing you know they'll be tearing down Teddy Roosevelt's statute. Oh, wait.

As a Yankees fan I would have liked to see what Chien-Ming Wang would have done if not for that base running injury. He was off to a great start.

I think about Tony Horton and the career he could've had, if he could've put his career in perspective and enjoyed the game.

Eddie Gaedel could have literally “walked” into the Hall of Fame.

What if the Red Sox had signed Dave Kingman?
A right handed hitter who hit lots of massive popups in Fenway? We might be talking about how even the juicers fell short of the season HR record. |
