Babe Ruth joins the Yankees...
THE DAY, New London, Conn., January 8, 1920
- Babe Ruth joins the New York Yankees
- Biggest deal (Boston flop) in sport's history ?
The bottom of page 11 has a somewhat discrete but historic report with one column heading: "The Little Joker Comes To Light"
Article begins with: "Sale of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees was another strike..." (see image) Ruth signed with the Yankees just 2 days earlier.
Complete with 12 pages, some tiny binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
