I do think it's possible. It's more likely to happen in baseball than any other major sport because it's the only major sport where bodies do not, theoretically, collide. It's a skill game as much as it is a game of muscle and bulk. That having been said, IF it ever happens, I think it will have to be a pitcher, maybe a knuckleball specialist or someone who pitches "backwards", relying on off-speed stuff rather than throwing 93% fastballs. Possibly at second base, or maybe centerfield. I've been a fan of this game long enough to know the ebbs and flows of baseball. Nothing is "en vogue" forever. Today, the trend is big. Even your middle infielders give you 10-15 HRs a season. It wasn't always that way. Ozzie Smith had a HOF career batting .262 averaging fewer than 2 HRs a season. So you never know what tomorrow brings.
