Description: Greg Patterson has just watched his beloved Boston Red Sox lose to the New York Yankees in the 2003 American League Championship Series, when he gets a radical idea: build a time machine to make sure that one of baseball history's worst sales - the sale of Babe Ruth - never happens. But as he's researching out that fateful event, he runs along another piece of info that he had never known. It leads him to ask: What if the Black Sox Scandal never happened? Could the scandal that rocked the baseball world in the early 1920s and the sale of the Sultan of Swat be connected? And if it's possible, can these two incidents be reversed in order to correct the failings of the Red Sox and end the recent domination of the Yankees?
