The Boston Red Sox's sale of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees stands as one of the most game-changing deals in all of sports, and in this intriguing collection, Bill Gutman takes an exploratory look at what could have been had Ruth stayed in Boston, among 11 other alternate histories. Steve Larkin sounds appropriately curious as he details Gutman's scenarios, such as Sonny Liston defeating Cassius Clay, or Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson's early integration of baseball. What If the Babe Had Kept His Red Sox? is an engaging, speculative listen sure to provoke intense discussion among sports fans.
