New York Yankees Announce the Purchase of Babe Ruth
On January 5, 1920, the New York Yankees major league baseball club announced its acquisition of the heavy-hitting outfielder George Herman “Babe” Ruth from the Boston Red Sox for $125,000.
Ruth had played six seasons with the Red Sox, leading them to three World Series victories. Ruth pitched a total of 29 2/3 scoreless World Series innings on the mound, setting a new league record that would stand for 43 years. He was fresh off a sensational 1919 season, having broken the major league home run record with 29 and led the American League with 114 runs-batted-in and 103 runs. In addition to playing more than 100 games in left field, he also went 9-5 as a pitcher. Ruth had surpassed the great Ty Cobb as baseball’s most prominent attraction with his prodigious hitting, pitching, and fielding skills.
The deal paid off—in spades—for New York, as Ruth went on to smash his home run record in 1920, hitting 54 home runs. He connected for 59 homers in 1921, dominating the game and increasing Yankee revenues to the point that the team was able to leave the Polo Grounds (shared with the New York Giants baseball team) and build Yankee Stadium, which opened in 1923 and became known as “the house that Ruth built.” Throughout the rest of the 20th century, the legacy of Frazee’s lopsided trade continued to hover over major league baseball, as the Yankees won 39 AL pennants and 26 World Series titles and the Red Sox went 86 years without a World Series win. In 2004, the Sox finally shook the “Curse of the Bambino,” coming from behind to beat the Yankees in the AL Championship and beating the St. Louis Cardinals to win their first Series since 1918.
