December 26th, 1919 105 years ago

Harry Frazee sells Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, marking a controversial shift in baseball. This sale is often cited as the beginning of the infamous Curse of the Bambino, which suggests that the Red Sox would suffer for years without a championship following Ruth's departure.
