THE NEW YORK TIMES, January 1, 1915

* Yankees are sold, purchased by Ruppert

* The beginning of a baseball dynasty

This is a very historic newspaper for any Yankees fan, as page 12 has a nearly banner headline proclaiming: "NEW YORK YANKEES SOLD TO RUPPERT AND HUSTON--NEW YORK A.C. REPORT". Plus there is a one column report headed: "Ruppert and Huston Buy The Yankees" "Farrell Sells New York Baseball Club for $500,000--Donovan Manager". The report notes that this is a record price for a franchise which does not include a baseball park and a manager. The report also notes: "...the Yankees will play at the Polo Grounds next season but the Giants are anxious for the Yankees to find a park of their own before 1916. Col. Ruppert & Capt. Huston are now considering three sites for the new park. Farrell's grounds at 225th Street & Broadway are under consideration & two sites on property owned by Col. Ruppert..." with more (see photos).
You get the complete 24 page issue. Partially loose at the spine, 3 binding holes at the spine cause no loss to the mentioned report. Some tears & minor chipping at the margins. Light browning throughout, but generally in nice condition for a newspaper of this vintage.
