I remember it, too. The first thread was more geared towards going back in time, and seeing something you'd enjoy (hence enough time to watch a game, or a series). This is more geared towards going back in time to change something. Ten minutes isn't enough time to catch even one good at bat, but it would be enough time to prevent somebody like Roberto Clemente from getting on a plane that would kill him. It would also be enough time to make sure that Fred Merkle's name was not forever associated with a base running blunder. The two discussions are similar, but the intent behind the time travel is different. However, I suppose if you had a Delorean, you could accomplish both. But all it would take is catching one game watching Ty Cobb race around the bases for me to forget every other thing I needed to accomplish.

We'd all be anachronisms. We wouldn't belong. Best case you could do is get a job working in a store for packs of tobacco that have baseball cards in them in lieu of pay, and even then, you'd need weeks to accumulate anything real. It'd be like arguing how you could stop the Titanic from sinking. You first have to explain overcoming the crew even listening to you in the first place. You could also trigger a collecting boom, so that would make old material way more available and less valuable--'hey, that guy is hoarding these baseball cards, maybe we should too.'.

Really, more than anything, this discussions is meant to offer a change of pace. It's more to glean what things members wish they could change from the past than to consider how successful they would be in doing so.

C'mon Cubs fans, Moises Alou has admitted he couldn't have caught the ball anyway.
I'm still pissed that Bud Selig didn't go back and change Gallarraga's game to a perfect game after the fact. It wouldn't have set any kind of crazy precedent, he could have said "the only precedent I'm setting is to correct an egregious error on the final out of a perfect game. If it ever comes up again, I'll do the same thing again." NOBODY would have been mad about that and NOBODY would have tried to get stuff changed because a "precedent" had been set. GRRR. For me, I'd probably go back to the summer of 1997 and somehow get a different limo driver for the Red Wings. |

I'd show up at the shop printing the T206s, dazzle them with my knowledge of modern print techniques, say I was there for a press check, sign off on one sheet (before trimming) and tell them I need to keep a flat, uncut sheet of each example they have for later quality comparison.
