Could Yuri Gagarin have died when bailing out of his craft, resulting in Kennedy ordering a single sub orbital, and getting a modified Redstone to launch a Mercury into orbit, or an early Atlas be able to launch Virgil Grissom into orbit, making him the first man into orbit. I am thinking that the Soviets before hand push Vostok 2 forward, and a matter of days/weeks between the two. Possible or not?
