What If ... Dubya was named Commissioner of baseball

[charlie and algernon]

Instead of making Bud Selig commissioner in 1992, MLB owners choose another of their ilk: the Rangers' George W. Bush ...



1. So Al Gore is elected the 43rd president of the U.S. in 2000. Following 9/11, he pursues a path of diplomacy and does not invade Afghanistan. Meanwhile, back in the world of sports ...

2. Cardinals safety Pat Tillman has no reason to join the Army. Instead ...

3. He intercepts Ben Roethlisberger's last-minute pass to Santonio Holmes, and the Cards win Super Bowl XLIII, 23-20. And back on the diamond ...

6. About #3

He played the same position as Adrian Wilson and Wilson was just a rookie the year before Tillman enlisted. He was a good player(Search Hulu for the Nebraska-Arizona State game to see one of his best performances), leading the team in tackles(though it should be linebackers), but Adrian Wilson is one of the best players in franchise history. Who knows if Adrian Wilson would of saw playing time but he is a terrific player and would of shined anywhere if not here.
