Red Sox Sell Babe Ruth to Yankees | Today in Sports History

Today in sports history, one of the worst trades in baseball history was agreed upon. On December 26th, 1919, the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the rival New York Yankees for just $25,000. The trade would see Ruth’s career flourish and provide the Yankees franchise with multiple championships. On the Boston side, the “Curse of the Bambino” had begun and would last until 2004 when they finally won their next World Series.
