Another alternative reality I am exploring is teenage Babe signing with the Baltimore Terrapins of the Federal League in 1914. Heck, he was playing across the street for the AAA Orioles that year, still mostly a pitcher. In my 1914 simulation, it was pretty easy for the Baltimore Feds to sign a hometown guy who was not yet a star. Thus far, he is in the rotation, and occasionally playing OF. He is raw as both a hitter and a pitcher; but obviously talented. Will he be able to save the Federal League, maybe induce some Major League veterans to jump over? If not, does he end up with the Red Sox, or the Yankees?
