What would baseball look like if everyone knew the future—and everyone played by the rules of justice?
Inspired by Thomas Rawls’ Theory of Justice, Baseball Time Machine travels back to 1871 to recreate baseball from the ground up.
Imagine a world where every rational decision-maker has perfect knowledge of baseball’s future. Every draft pick, contract, trade, lineup, and strategic decision is made with the benefit of hindsight—but within a system designed to give every team a fair chance to build its future.
Who would become the greatest players? Which franchises would dominate? What contracts would be signed? And, ultimately, what would baseball have looked like if its history were shaped by the most knowledgeable minds possible?
This isn't a recreation of baseball history.
It's an experiment to discover the baseball history that could have been. |
