On Monday when I was on my break at my Dollar General job. I read the latest developments in another installment of "What If" Series from my round table of discussions of friends who discuss matters that might changed baseball history from what happened then I proposed to include my readers of my blog to reach out to them & get their thoughts on the subject as well discuss what the group came up & as always there's no right or wrong answers just a bunch of baseball junkies who love the game but have great insights of the game.
You can see this is Topps glimpse of the 2091 card from the 2021 Topps Archives set. The What If topic was do you think baseball will continue with the pattern that started in 1904 that was repeated in 1994. Now you are asking what is the pattern well simple back in 1904 John McGraw was managing the New York Giants & lead them to the National League Pennant however he wasn't keen in playing against the American League Pennant winner that being the Philadelphia Athletics led by Connie Mack in what would have been the 2nd ever World Series so the World Series was canceled that year then resumed in 1905 & it ran every year up until 1994 when baseball fans were upset that the season as well post season year was canceled due to a players strike. So the question was to say should the MLB cancel the World Series in 2084 then again in 2174 etc.....basically every 90 years so I ask you my readers should they do it or not.
Some of the group members said that MLB sure if they don't change the amount of teams however if they expanded to more than 30 teams they should. So with that said I'm reminded of great Rogers Hornsby who once said "Any ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, he's a Communist."
