What If?

A few years ago, my good friend Jim Storer and I pondered writing a book that would use projections to fill in gaps in players careers. Player who lost time to the war. Players who lost time to racism. Players who's careers were cut short by injury. We never got around to that book, but Steve Treder at The Hardball Times is starting to fill it in. He looks at seasons lost to war in this article. You get a feel for how close Williams and Mays would have come to Babe Ruth's HR record if it hadn't been for military service.
