Default Shoeless Joe a Yankee? It almost happened.

Posted By: Chad

What if the Red Sox hadn't been blinded by color and took their scout's advice to sign Mays and Aaron. Not to mention, what if they signed Jackie Robinson when they tried him out instead of nonchalantly telling him he wasn't major league material.

What if the Cubs had taken the Seals up on their offer to purchase Joe Dimaggio with, essentially, a money back guarantee.

What if Christy Mathewson has kept his word and jumped to the A's when the American League formed.

What if Connie Mack had been more patient with Shoeless Joe and kept him around?

What if Lajoie would have accepted the Tigers offer of Cobb for Elmer Flick?

A lot of tantalizing what-ifs in baseball history.
