From his Wiki page:
"On February 16, 1953, Williams was part of a 35-plane strike package against a tank and infantry training school just south of Pyongyang, North Korea. During the mission a piece of flak knocked out his hydraulics and electrical systems, causing Williams to have to "limp" his plane back to K-13, an Air Force base close to the front lines. For his actions of this day he was awarded the Air Medal."
ITTL Wiliams's plane crashes and he is killed. How does baseball change and recover from the loss of such an major star? Do different teams win championships later on? Do the Red Sox start trading? Note that Boston did not win any championships with Williams in the lineup.
