What would it look like if Bobby Witt Jr. was the best player in MLB in 2024?

San Francisco and Kansas City playing for a championship.

One of the teams hasn't won a title in exactly 29 years.

The other team is one win away from its third title in five years, cementing itself as a dynasty.

But enough about the 2014 World Series.

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]
