3M ago2:40

2:40

Presiding over five Boston Red Sox World Series titles in fifteen years, the team's ownership confidently believes their roster is doubtlessly strong enough to withstand the departure of star pitcher Babe Ruth, a.k.a. “The Bambino.” So they conjure up the idea, in 1920, to sell Ruth to the then-lowly New York Yankees.
