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.

What if the Bird hadn't wrecked his wing? He and Jack Morris together would have been fun to watch through the 80's.

And as long as it's a "what if" why not an imaginary '76 rookie card to go with it.

Gaedel was a tough man to pitch to, but miserable on the base paths. Took him a full minute to go from first to third.

No one will be ever beat his OBP. If only he’d come up 50 years later, the sabermetrics people would’ve found a place for him.
