Offseason
On January 5, 1920, news that the Red Sox sold their star pitcher-turned-outfielder Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $125,000 (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".) became public, the sub-headline in The New York Times the next day read, "Highest Purchase Price in Baseball History Paid for Game's Greatest Slugger."[1] The trade to the Yankees would live in infamy for generations of Boston red sox fans for nearly 85 years and was one of the worse highlights of that offseason.
