[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1797547, member: 747321"] Baseball wise the biggest "what if" may be Tony Conigliaro as [USER=620047]@bluemountain[/USER] mentioned. He is the 2nd youngest player to hit 100 HR. Debuts at 19, AL home run champ at 20, All-Star at 22, and during said all-star season gets hit in the face with a pitch that damages his retina, fractures his face and dislocates his jaw. Missed the entire next season and while he put together a couple good seasons after coming back was never the same and had to retire early due to permanent damage to his eyesight. [/QUOTE]
