In the offseason, there is a lot of time to reminisce about things that could have been. Baseball is the sport with the richest history behind it and the one that contains the most alternative histories. The baseball multiverse (I’m no longer a fan of that word. Thanks a lot, Marvel) is one that is as expansive as anything else with any other topic. A lot of the scenarios that could be different have to do with possible plays and their after effects.
