Don Larsen lost a game in the 1956 World Series before his perfect game. Suppose that he hurts his arm or something. And the Dodgers win games 5 and then game 6. This then leads to The Shocker of all shockers in 1958.
Arnold Johnson was basically being used by the Yankees as a farm club with his Kansas City.Athletics the yankees send bob turley who had struggled, Casey stangle losing confidence in him and Don. Larsen, who apparently wasn't as good as they thought, to Kansas City in 1957 for a few better players such as a young Ralph Terry.
The two hurlers improve for 1957 and then really do well especially Turley. In 1958, the Yankees can't trade for them because the Athletics won't make a trade while they are winning and the Kansas City Athletics with a surprising 87 or 88 wins just eke past the Yankees. Even in our timeline, they were only 9 games out of second while the Yankees were 10 games up on the second place team, so it is actually possible, Though, of course, other moves could have made winners of the Red Sox, white Sox, or someone else.
How does this affect the relationship between the Yankees and the Kansas City? Athletics If the supposed farm system of the Yankees wins the pennant? Obviously Casey St we ngel is let go a few years early. In fact, with 3 straight World Series losses, it is possible that he leaves in 1957 only to go over to… Kansas City for 1958.
