To facilitate this re-telling of history, I’ll be using a variety of programs, for a variety of individual sports. The ability to realistically re-sim these sports is why I’ve chosen the ones I have, along with my own personal biases and interests. The sports I’m beginning with are baseball...

I. The Hare or the Tortoise? ALT TEXT - Mark Donohue and his Penske PC1 at the 1975 French Grand Prix, shortly before its transmission failure. July 6th, 1975 Le Castellet, France Roger Penske was not a happy man. As he stood inside his team's garage at the Circuit Paul Ricard, he pondered...

Taken from the Seattle Times on April 2, 1983, three days before the Mariners begin the season against the Yankees Seattle- Just three days. Three days before the Mariners begin what is expected to be another abysmal season for them. Seattleites have gotten used to this in the last five years...

what if the Detroit lions through good drafting and having the right individuals go to super bowl 25 in 1991 defeating the bills which will start a football dynasty of the 1990 and it all started when they traded andre ware for warren moon from oilers and they drafted bo jackson in 1987 and...

Prologue Clip played from draft night coverage of the 1986 NBA Draft on TNT Pat O’Brien “Well the Celtics are still on the clock now and with the consensus number one pick off the board in Brad Daugherty, who do you think the Celtics are probably going to take?” Larry Donald “Not sure Pat...

I’m trying to ask this on r/CFB but it’s an interesting What If, What if Bo goes to Texas A&M? Who replaces him at Michigan? How does A&M do under Bo who would only be around for 8 years? How does Michigan do under Bo’s successor?

Steroids and other PEDs are looked down on by society and outlawed in fitness and sports (even if people get caught doping all the time). The cause of this ranges from the idea of unfair play, cheating, the negative side effects. What would cause this negative perception not only not form but...

Before I do start this timeline, I would like to preface that I am a bit new here, but I do come from a small writing background online, primarily in the NationStates (NS) forums. And hey, an sports alternative history timeline is a neat idea, especially since this concept (At least to my...

January 22, 1989, Super Bowl XXIII "Rice has just set a Super Bowl record with 12 catches. He’s in motion. Montana. INTERCEPTION, Barney Bussey! And Cincinnati is down at the 8-yard line. Taylor’s missed the big game-winning throw, and a big one it was because now it will take another touchdown...

Canadian hip-hop legend Choclair wrote his famous (in Toronto, anyway) line "like Carter did to Philly..." Except of course he was referencing Joe Carter's double home run to win the World Series. So what if another Carter did it to another Philly? Vince Carter, Air Canada, Toronto legend...

Tommy Dreamer, no joke, admitted he planned to do this. This wasn't a joke by him, he genuinely could've done it. The reason I kept this out of the fandom thread was that, well, not only is this a WI but it also would've definitely affected how the country would see sports entertainment.

East Coast college football has been irrevlent since the Big East fully broke up its football conference and became the American in 2013. No traditional East Coast team has made the College Football Playoff(unless you count Ohio State), with Cincinnati trying to become the first team from the...

Hi everybody! I finally decided to start this timeline. It is a sports collaborative starting in 1990. Feel free to post on college sports, nba, nhl, nfl, mlb, soccer, nascar, and the olympics. All I ask is you stay unpolitical. I'll kick this off, and then I and others will keep it up. Enjoy...

At the end of the 2004 college football season after the Gators fired head coach Ron Zook a lot of people were speculating that legendary former Florida Gators head coach Steve Spurrier was going to return to being the head coach of the Florida Gators in 2005 after resigning from the position...

Handball today is an indoor game much like basketball, with the advantage that its played by normal statured people as extreme height has no advantage. It used to be an outdoors game like soccer, but it seems that version was largely popular in Germany and German speaking communities in pre-war...

The year is 2018. The World Cup has been underway for the past few weeks, and it's been a very exciting tournament for all involved. Hosts Sweden are entering their home field, the Friends Arena, to face off against first-time finalists Wallonia. During the first few minutes of the match...

With the Olympics underway in Tokyo, Japan, this has been something I’ve been thinking about. The modern Olympics began in 1896 as hosted by Athens, Greece. But, what if there modern international Olympics Games began earlier? Of course there were the Zappas Olympics in Greece in 1859, 1870...

Baseball. Before World War 2 it was considered to mainly be a game for Americans. Some foreigners just believed it to be a game that foolish Americans played with sticks. But it was a cultural mainstay in America. Almost any part of America had intertwined in some way with baseball. But a...
