Babe Ruth was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees on December 26, 1919. The deal was orchestrated by Red Sox owner Harry Frazee, who sold Ruth for $100,000 and an additional $300,000 in loans for a Broadway production. This trade marked a significant turning point in baseball history, as Ruth went on to become a legendary figure with the Yankees, leading them to several championships, while the Red Sox experienced an 86-year championship drought known as the "Curse of the Bambino."
