Before we unfold the results of our Second-Chance World Series simulation, let's muse a bit about what might have been had either, or both, of our finalists -- the '94 Montreal Expos and '77 Kansas City Royals -- gone on to win the World Series with what, for both clubs, were the best regular-season rosters in the history of big-league baseball in those cities.
Montreal's what-if scenario is one that has been speculated about many times over the past quarter century. Mainly, the big question that we will never be able to truly answer is whether the Expos would still be playing in Quebec had the 1994 season played out with a Montreal win in the World Series.
