It's fun to dream about star power trades that never happened but were supposedly discussed behind the scenes. The story of Larry MacPhail and Tom Yawkey talking Ted Williams for Joe DiMaggio over drinks and writing the terms on cocktail napkins reigns king in this category.

The key players? Derek Jeter, at the beginning of his long Yankees career that ended with 3,465 hits and five World Series titles.
