 * The obvious answer is, "He wouldn't have been dead." Any other questions? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Then, somewhere a Sean Bean character would have to die to balance cinematic karma. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)


 * The film would have been panned by critics and bombed at the box office. The commercial disaster would have ended Clint Eastwood's film career. Eastwood would have gone back to politics and been elected the 45th president of the United States, but would have resigned after the unsuccessful invasion of Russia and subsequent loss of Alaska. After that, I don't know what would have happened, because than we'd be in 2021 and I'd be predicting an alternate future. --Lambiam 09:46, 1 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Butch would have gone back to his original name, Crash Davis, and resumed his minor league baseball career. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:00, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought he took that job coaching in Visalia? -- Jayron 32 11:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
