1920: The day that Boston sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees!

Please don't show this one to any Red Sox fans in your family.   

Remember The infamous "Curse of the Bambino"? 

On a day like today, Babe Ruth went from Boston to New York and the baseball fortunes of two cities changed forever.  

Ruth was sold to the Yankees for $125,000 and the rest is history.

Looking back, Ruth was the greatest player ever to play major league baseball.  He may have been the most consequential athlete in US history.
