On this day in 1919, the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

No truth to the rumor that Julio Franco was a throw-in in the deal.

On recent travels, I ran into a guy who was a Red Sox season ticket holder, who had no idea about the folklore associated with this curse. The fact he was 22yo makes it plausible that he wasn't taking the piss.

Kid had to be around 14 in 2004. Must not have been much of a baseball follower then.

Great. So now the Blue Jays will win four World Series championships over the next decade with Dickey and Reyes leading the way.
