Don't forget the "Black Sox" scandal. Want some revisionist history? The White Sox were the strongest team in baseball at the time of the World Series that they were paid to throw. If the Sox don't throw that series, when Babe Ruth gets into his contract dispute with Red Sox owner, he asks to be sold to the White Sox, instead of the Yankees. The World Champion White Sox now add Ruth to their rotation and outfield, and well... the rest is up to your imagination... the White Sox go on to dominate baseball for the next 80 years instead of the Yankees.
Meanwhile in this alternate universe, the Cubs STILL don't win a World Series.
