Babe Has a New Crib
How much would you pay for the world's greatest sports star to play for your team? Appearently the answer is $125,000. On January 5, 1920, the great slugger George Herman "Babe" Ruth was purchased by the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox. George led the league in homeruns last year with 29 as well as being one of the top notch pitchers at the end of the year with 29 consecutive scoreless innings. The yankees say they are proud to have obtained such a powerful bat in the lineup. Babe wishes to continue with his winning ways and make his 3 straight world series in Boston turn into 4 straight in New York. The Yankees have originally offered to pay Babe $10,000 anually. However, the young superstar is going in for further negotiations trying to obtain more money.
