The legendary but scandal-ridden career of Barry Bonds could’ve taken a very different turn if he’d signed with the Yankees, not the Giants, as a free agent in ‘92. The alternate reality of Bonds playing in pinstripes sets off a butterfly effect that changes the entire baseball landscape and begs pressing questions like: Would Barry have even needed to juice in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium? Would the ‘94 baseball strike have ever happened? Would we know Bonds best today as a first-ballot hall of famer AND Donald Trump spokesman?! Find out on Alternate Routes.
