The sale of the century, any century. Some have actually tried to put a positive spin on Harry Frazee's sale of Babe, there is none not from the baseball angle. Harry pickled up some bucks but this sale and then following sales of other good Bosox players changed the landscape of the game.

Bosox, cream of the AL going down and the so so Yankee team now on the rise. Check out stats for 1919, Babe led both leagues in a great number of offensive stats, now Harry sends him packing, because he was a bad boy.

Also, the Yanks loan Harry 300,000.00+ dollars and Harry puts up Fenway Park as collateral. Possible, shoud Harry default on the loan, the Yanks not only have Babe Ruth but maybe even Fenway park.
