Without baseball ...
1. George W. Bush would probably not be president.
2. George Steinbrenner would probably be someone that I admire rather than despise.
3. Gary Carter would not be in the Hall of Fame
4. Ernie Harwell would likely have been in insurance
5. Cleveland would be a much more optimistic town
6. Boston would still whine, but not as much
7. John Kerry would not have said the name "Manny Ortez" and thus may have won the election.
8. Jim Bunning would not be in congress.
9. Babe Ruth would not even have a candy bar
10. Going out with a hot girl from the bronx would be sweet, instead of sacreligious.
