Offered is a 22" x 32" framed display commemorating the most infamous transaction in baseball history, the sale of Babe Ruth by Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee to Jacob Ruppert and his New York Yankees on December 26, 1919. The rest of the story is well known as the Red Sox, after winning three World Series titles with Ruth, would wait 86 years before finally breaking The Curse of the Bambino in 2004, while Ruth would lead the Yankees to four of their franchise record twenty seven World Series titles. Display features a reproduction of the Uniform Agreement For Transfer of a Player to or by a Major League Club which officially sealed the deal along with pictures and plaques commemorating the Babes time as both a Red Sox and a Yankee.
