What If: 1994 World Series: Montreal Expos vs. New York Yankees

[Suburbia]

The 1994 World Series never happened because of the 1994-95 baseball strike that almost destroyed baseball at the end of the 20th century....if the series happened, with the Yankees and Expos expected to play in it, who would have won?

2   Rondell White   LF
3   Moises Alou   RF
4   Larry Walker   1B
5   Darrin Fletcher   C
6   Wil Cordero   SS
7   Mike Lansing   2B
8   Sean Berry   3B
9   Butch Henry   P

Yankees
1   Luis Polonia   LF
2   Wade Boggs   3B
3   Paul O'Neill   RF
4   Danny Tartabull   DH

I simulated it in OOTP and the result was Yankees sweep.

If the Yanks win who is the WS MVP? Paul O'Neill?

If the Expos win who is the MVP? Larry Walker? Pedro Martinez?

Yankee definitely win the WS and start their dynasty a couple years early.

The interesting question is if winning a pennant would have changed the trajectory of the Expos franchise and kept them from moving.

My gut feeling is Yankees in 5.
