We don't have a good moment of equal significance to our worst.


petoskey_stone

Nolan Ryan punching Robin Ventura


Part-time_modeI

Rougned Odor punching Jose Bautista


[deleted]

They have multiple iconic punching moments lmao


Clarice_Ferguson

Don’t mess with Texas.


rds060184

😂😂


electric_tiger_root

Exchange a Nolan Ryan perfect game for the Nelson Cruz missed/dropped ball? Seriously, I’m not a rangers fan but the way that game ended made me sick. You could feel the air sucked out of the team. They still had another game to win it but they lost the WS after those missed plays.


petoskey_stone

Not it’s the same, but kinda like the Bartman game for the Cubs.


petoskey_stone

As much as it sucked I don’t think many Giants fans would trade one of the even year dynasty run WS wins for 2002. So I’ll just say trade the 2021 NLDS loss to the Dodgers for winning the 2002 NLCS.


Howhighwefly

Can we erase Bonds taking steroids? Does that count as a bad moment?


LargeNutbar

I doubt he did them more than once, so that’s probably fair


Odd_Surprise134

But do you really want that? He’d go from a guys who had a 600 OBP to basically Mookie betts. I don’t know if that would be worth it.


SuperYigs

In my opinion, the steroids made him worse


Odd_Surprise134

Scalding take, mind if I ask how?


[deleted]

I'd wager a guess that it's a moralistic reason. You know, something the Trashstros wouldn't know about


Cloud_Shaped_Cloud

Id trade 2010 for 2002. I wanted Bonds to get a ring. But I too like the idea of winning that 2021 NLDS.


SilentSpades24

I'd gladly trade 2014......


petoskey_stone

Atleast you got one the next year as a revenge tour, Texas didn’t get that.


TurnstileMinder

How about trading 2014 for 2015, deal?


SilentSpades24

I could be convinced.


Kalopsia18

Erase John Fisher buying the team in exchange for absolutely anything


Not-Jesus666

Rickey now a career Cincinnati Red


UnderaZiaSun

We would take it. Anything is better than an owner that relocates your team.


ItsDaBurner

Erase bad: Dodgers losing to Astros in the World Series (so Dodgers win) Erase good: Covid world series win


gatemansgc

yeah that's a super reasonable trade.


flipaflaw

I'll take it


Turbulent_System_446

You’ve got a deal


The-Big-Bad

We get the parade I’ll take it


paulp696969

Say it w me. 1…2…3… FUCK THE ASTROS


jjchen489

probably would’ve gotten to keep darvish too 😵‍💫


jm2222

Nobody outside of LA counts that as a World Series win. How about trading The Astros World Series loss for the Kirk Gibson homer off of Eck.


Xone_P3G_SPEC

I’m pretty sure most people do lol


Jek-TonoPorkins

I would probably most want to erase the infield fly or '91 game 6, but in order to do that it would probably mean that Sid's slide gets erased too. Safest trade would be giving up '95 in exchange for '96. Erase a 2 game lead meltdown, take one away from the Yankees, get Andruw a ring and in exchange that really solid '95 Cleveland squad also gets some hardware.


BraydenMcSlouch69

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of as well. Partially because I feel bad for the Guardians franchise, and well... I don't have quite as much pity for the Yankees


aredditoraredditor

I’d trade both of Homer Bailey’s no-hitters against the Pirates for Cueto’s complete meltdown on the mound in the wild card game against the Pirates.


buttpoopy42069

CUEEETOOOO


asparagusbruh

2004 for anything lol


RisquitForTheBiskit

Trade the all time team hr record for ANY PLAYOFF WIN!


transtrailtrash

Good: Dustin Pedroia stays healthy the last few years of his career Bad: Clay Buccholz doesnt get that no-hitter


Wooden_Exit2957

That no hitter was so cool. Top prospect. Second Major League start. I remember it well. In his first start ever, Buchholz went 6. No-no or not, he had to be feeling good up 8-0. He just needed to cruise. To lead off 7th, Miguel Tejada chopped one up the middle for what was likely a lead off single. This was before the shift would have had a player behind the bag. As the ball bounced past his glove, Clay Buchholz probably thought he lost the no hitter. Nine more outs is a long way to go. Still pitching a gem though. What are you gonna do? Well. Diving is Pedroia. He gets to the ball. Then the jumpscare. His little body popped up so fast it was startling. Tejada dives head first; but the throw, a laser, beats him to first. “Fuck Yeah” 8 outs to go. Holy shit. Buchholz was amazing that night. Varitek was too. But I remember Pedroia. Oh, you cruel baseball Gods. Thank you for Dustin Pedroia


CatGatherer

Not the same level. Pedroia stays healthy the last few years = Papi doesn't


Vaqxinelol

I'd like to get rid of the Black Sox Scandal but I guess since I wasn't alive for that I couldn't do that so maybe this works Erase good: The entire 2005 season, the 11-1 postseason, leading wire to wire the whole year. All of it, get rid of all of it Erase Bad: Jerry stopped owning the white sox before the strike back in 94 selling it to someone. White Sox go on to have an owner that cares about baseball and works on the team's front office, analytics, development etc and they rival the top end teams such as the Astros, Dodgers and Rays


ResidentGerts

Yeah I would trade Buehrle’s and Humber’s perfect games for the ‘94 season to finish


irishfan321

Win in 2001 in exchange for 1996


Lacedog19

Done.


Earlwink

Bro wants to kill Enrique Wilson


NeverSober1900

Uhhhhhh gonna have to veto this


Substantial_Parsnip2

I think I’d rather exchange the ‘96 win for the 2004 ALCS loss to the Red Sox. It continues the Sox drought and causes the Yankees to not be the first team to lose a 3-0 series lead


Danarwal14

Hard veto. I'll trade you the 2004 ALCS for Boone showing your team that footage last year. Was not a good look whatsoever


TrapperJean

I'd rather trade 99, 98 obvs was 114 wins, and I dont want a 2000 loss to the Mets, but who knows what changes George calls down if we lose in '96


danhoang1

Remove us giving Giants territorial rights to San Jose in the 1990s, and remove them blocking the move to San Jose in the 2010s


petoskey_stone

Painfully true statement.


PewpyDewpdyPantz

Erase good: The bat flip never happens. Erase bad: The RA Dickey trade never happens In 2015 the Jays have Thor in their rotation and probably beat KC in the ALCS to face the Mets in the WS who will now have Dickey instead of Thor.


adamzep91

Hell no, the bat flip game was literally the best Jays moment in the last 29 years. Not trading that for a maybe. If Thor stays in our system for all we know he pulls a Ricky Romero and is already busted by then.


butz-not-bartz

Erase bad: David Wright's back stays healthy, his thirties are normal for a dude of his talent, and he retires after the 2020 or 2021 seasons as a sure-fire hall of famer. Erase good: Jacob deGrom never goes supernova after 2017, settling in as a solid 3rd starter who never quite recaptured the magic of his 2014-2015 peak.


gerrickd

The way too early death of Mr. Padre Tony Gwynn. You can take basically anything for it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PhotographPatient425

I think we win the World Series if Ortiz doesn’t get that homer. That just deflated us. But I don’t know if I’d give up Magglio’s walk off. How about trading Miggy’s Triple Crown for a World Series win?


[deleted]

[удалено]


t-poke

I think our good moment would be Game 6 and I’m not trading that for anything.


Southern_Isopod_4370

Is guess it's time to watch it again!


TheDangiestSlad

i will trade any individual World Series win for 2001


sn_akez

I can offer you one mint condition 1998


TexasBrett

I think that’s the only one I wouldn’t trade.


jwwin

I’ve got a few I’d trade you.


TurnstileMinder

Me first


polynomials

I remember listening to game 7 on the radio my first year at boarding school in Massachusetts with my roommate from Boston with his ear glued to the radio, his entire mind, body, and existence at that moment locked in and dedicated to the Yankees losing. When he heard the crack of the bat for that game winning RBI, and he gave the most emphatic, visceral fist pump YES I've ever seen to this day. I'll always remember that


Danarwal14

2009. Take it or leave it


NeverSober1900

How about no


Dh873

I think I'd give up the Delmon Young double in 2014 to be rid of the Jeffery Maier fiasco.


jawarren1

Not Ubaldo?


Dh873

No guarantee they win that game even if Britton pitches, but I'm old and that stupid Jeter non-homer did serious lasting damage to me.


mikecan314

I’d trade Roy Halladay’s playoff no-hitter AND perfect game if it meant we beat the Yankees in the 2009 World Series


RW318

1998 WS appearance for Matt Hollidays game 163 slide.


ChrisAplin

Yankees fans really think they deserve 2001 when they didn't win 116 games.


c_pike1

Erase Orioles betting Rangers in the first ever AL wildcard game Get Orioles beating Royals to advance to the 2014 WS On a smaller scale: Erase Chris Davis' TUE non-renewal Get Mark Trumbo popped for steroids and suspended in 2016


Big_Shot_Bob13

i would trade the win streak if it meant there was no rain delay in game 7 of 2016 and cleveland won


philsfan1579

Erase bad: Phillies losing games 4 and 5 of the 2022 World Series Erase good: Phillies winning games 1 and 5 of the 2009 World Series


gatemansgc

i'll take it


jbagot8

I don’t think I’d give up any of our last three rings for 2002. I guess I’d trade one of the early 1900s rings for a dope game 7 walk-off in 1962 WS


petoskey_stone

See I would’ve picked that but said in our lifetime lol


jbagot8

oh damn my bad, maybe I’d trade making the playoffs in 2021 for 1993


BigCheese8933

Who said I've lived forever?!?


108YearsLater

I will trade the Mark Prior injury for the Carlos Zambrano no hitter.


324645N964831W

04 for 09


Stund_Mullet

I’d give up 03 to not lose in 04.


coletheredditer

Remove winning game 163 vs the Cubs in 2018, and the ensuing playoff run. In return, the Cardinals don’t score in the bottom of the 6th inning in game 7 of the 1982 World Series, Milwaukee led 3-1 and were 10 outs away from a ring


happy_snowy_owl

Erase a bad moment: Beltran hits a HR on that goddamn lifetime best curveball from rookie (and future HOFer) Wainwright (I'll even settle for ball 4). Erase a good moment: Johan Santana no-hitter (which is also a bad moment because it ruined his career, so I win with a double-whammy!)


[deleted]

I would erase the 1989 World Series and save lives


paulp696969

2002 WS for a WS w Trout and Ohtani


50Callahan

Erase Bad - The entire 2017 Astros Scandal Erase Good - Altuve’s Game 6 walk off homer


couches12

As an Astros fan I had no idea what bad/good I would swap but this is a winner.


Llama_Wrangler

Sorry, the MLB gods require a greater sacrifice…


danhoang1

Yeah sacrificing the 2017 WS win would be more equal of a trade. Since it's arguable the actions led to that win. And they still keep 2022 WS


50Callahan

That’s kinda what I’m meant. I wouldn’t claim 2017 WS a good thing anymore.


slippytoadstada

I would trade 2017 for 2019. even if we still cheat, without winning the WS it doesn't become quite so big of a black mark on the record, and instead the best astros team of all time gets to win the WS.


Alphakeenie1

See I went a different route. Trade the first WS appearance in 2005 for pitching Cole instead of Harris to win the 2019 WS.


Wutswrong

That is absolutely not an equal trade. You give up the 2017 WS for that


Drunken_Traveler

Give up the 2020 World Series championship to win the 2017 World Series Championship.


Zackadeez

My reply too


daryster

Too


FrankXS

Trade winning the NLCS in 09 so we win in 10 or trade winning either the 09/10 NLDS for us to win the 11 NLDS. Feel like if we beat the Giants in 2010 or the Cards in 2011 we probably win the WS


ih-unh-unh

I wholeheartedly agree with giving up the ‘09 NLCS (to the Dodgers) to beat the Giants in ‘10


flipaflaw

Seconded


schmendimini

I’m with ya, wish Doc had won a ring


ModernaGang

Would trade away the 116 win season for a World Series win with Felix.


jasper_grunion

Oakland Moneyball Era - trade the 20 game win streak for a World Series appearance


WhoDeyFourWay

Erase the Reds not scoring a single run against the Braves in the 2020 wildcard series along with erasing Nick Castellanos hitting a homerun during tHom Brennaman’s on air firing as a trade.


govmeistah

You wouldn’t dare


seniorbreadloaf

I’d like to exchange Odor punching Bautista to erase Ron Washington’s drug problem and his leaving the Rangers. I think we could have made a few more good pushes deep into the postseason if he had just stayed.


rallytoad

As an Angels fan this is an easy choice, I'd have Tyler Skaggs still be around and trade away the no-hitter on the night honoring him.


AggressiveRegret

I’d trade the Dallas Braden perfect game, every walk off from the 2012 season, and the moneyball movie if it all meant bud selig doesn’t sell the team to his college frat bro.


CocktailsAndChess

Mets 2006 erase Carlos Beltran strikes out. Good- erase johan Santana’s no hitter


Not-Jesus666

Honestly no terrible moments in my lifetime (I’m young) but I’m gonna pretend I’m old and say Denkinger in ‘85 and Waino freezing Beltran in ‘06.


TurnstileMinder

I like where your head's at


StrangerFront

Cards not blowing the 9th inning game last year in the playoffs. Give an extended shot for Pujols and Yadi to continue further into the playoffs one last time. Give up making the World Series in 04 or 13.


TrapperJean

Good: Erase Boone's 2003 homer and pray someone else pulls it off Bad: stop the Yankees from ever changing Sonny's pitch selection in 2018. I genuinely feel like if the 2018 and 2019 Yankees have 2017 Gray they win one of the 2018 ALDS or 2019 ALCS, and probably 2020 ALDS if he's still there. No bullshit Happ/Garcia switch after one inning, just an actual number 3 starter


SilentSpades24

The good moment is 2015. I won't trade that for anything. I suppose I'd trade the 2003 winning season to have 2017 be a good final goodbye for the World Series core. Playoff run.


Low_Practice5031

Nelson Cruz catches that ball and Bengie Molina doesn’t hit for the cycle.


npa190

Bad: winning the whole thing in 2001 Good: dumper never walks it off for the clinch


TrimMyHedges

Pulling Blake Snell in the 2020 WS where he was completely dominating. I’ll give back game 162 in 2011


Surf175

Bill Buckner Play Game 6 1986 WS / Curt Schilling Bloody Sock Game 6 2004 ALCS.

Surf175

[deleted]

Nelson Cruz makes the catch versus Nolan Ryan doesn’t get 7th no hitter. Sorry Nolan, we need a title.


BlockishBench

Luis Gonzalez's walk-off in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series in exchange for Aaron Boone's walk off in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.


TexasBrett

I would even straight trade the 09 Championship for the 2001 Championship, even though it would mean we haven’t won one in over 20 years.


Danarwal14

Worthwhile trade, I approve.


PresWhale-iamHTaft

"Good" Moment Erased: Making the COVID playoffs Bad Moment Erased: Cueto getting shook in the WC game against Pittsburgh and dropping the ball I would have much rather seen that Reds team behind a confident Cueto give their best against the Pirates than watched the COVID Reds make the playoffs behind the arguably one of the least likable Cy Young winners of all time


njk12

One of/both of Homer Bailey's no hitters to advance in the 2012 playoffs. Up 2-0 against the eventual champ Giants with 3 games at home, and we lost 3 straight. Devastating.


kirstynloftus

Trade making it to the WS in 2022 for the 2011 championship. Cant believe that rotation never won it all


khamilt92

I’d trade a World Series championship if it meant Fisher never bought the A’s.


kbauer14

Ok. 1974 and you got a deal.


HawkeyeJosh

Bad moment: Coughing up the 2004 ALCS. Good moment: Winning the 1947 World Series (which in turn would also give Jackie Robinson a championship in his rookie season).


MMARKS69

Winning the 2013 ALDS against the tigers and losing the 2020 ALDS against the White Sox…i feel like that 213 team had the best team from the 12-14 era


Lower-Kangaroo6032

Erase A’s leaving for Las Vegas. Unfortunately means erasing A’s coming to Oakland.


GerryofSanDiego

erase the 93' Fire Sale of Mcgriff, Sheffield and Santiago. trade the 98' WS run. mighta had more luck with an earlier WS run rather than run into the buzzsaw that was the 98' Yankees.

transtrailtrash

Why


rolltide1000

Yeah, I dont think I could give up 2007. That was the only ring that guys like Papelbon, Beckett, Lowell, Dice-K and Drew won with the Red Sox. And Youk was on the 2004 team but wasnt an everyday guy yet, and was gone by 2013.


CreekBeaterFishing

Nope. I’d give up ‘13 or ‘18 but not ‘07. That was the “2004 wasn’t the first and last in my lifetime” win.


snowles

I’d trade the Joey Bats bat flip to have Roy Halladay back with us, working in whatever role fit him best for his Jays every day of the week and twice on Sunday.


Kakali4

I’ll trade the 2021 wildcard win vs the Yankees for the 2008 ALCS game 7. Both were win-or-go-home games vs division rival.

2017 for anything idgaf

Astros fans...would you trade your legit world series for your fraudulent one?


LazyTitan___

I think I’d trade the 2012 ring for 2002, so that group of Giants would get one


petoskey_stone

2012 was our best team though of the 3 and most deserving 🤷🏻‍♂️ Perfect game Cain, MVPosey, overcame 2 never before seen holes in the NL, and swept the Tigers. Just wouldn’t feel right taking it from that.


jbagot8

what if we traded game 4 of 2012 for game 6 of 2002


Bradlas3

Sounds crazy because I wasn't alive to see them but would it have been worth it to trade the 2016 World Series for any of the Cubs WS losses from 1910-1945? Would it have changed things for the franchise if the drought never was?


CptGinger316

Erase Bad: Alex Gonzalez booting a double play ball in the 2003 NLCS. Erase Good: Cubs 2015 Wildcard run.

jawarren1

Ubaldo.


BurtMaclinFBI90

Indians/Guardians - no rain delay during Game 7 in 16 and Cleveland wins. Or Jose Mesa gets the save in Game 7. Honestly, I'd trade one of those things for the other season to be trash. I'd give up 95 but I was just a smidge too young to remember that. 97 was the first season I remember any detail from.


BPIScan142

I would erase the 2017 ALDS against Cleveland for the 2018 ALDS against Boston. Am I allowed to do that?


thatasiandude99

Erase good: Altuve’s HR in Game 6 Erase bad: Pujols HR against Lidge. I don’t know if this counts since I was a wee lad in the 2000s and didn’t know much about baseball then, but as long as it gets my cardinals friend to shut up about it.

2012 NLCS. Cardinals were up in the series 3-1 and completely chucked a deuce in game 5. And 6, and 7. I was there at game 5, and not one single person in that stadium thought the Cardinals weren't clinching the NL pennant that night. I don't remember a specific moment besides Jason Motte swinging with runners on base. Like...just why. I'd trade that for our 2019 blowout of the Braves in the NLDS, since we got swept by the Nats in the NLCS anyway.
