No No Nanette Sheet Music on Ebay - who cares?

Fer sure not me!

But, in 1920, Mr. Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox needed cash to finance the play. To raise the funds, he sold his young pitcher/outfielder, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees for 125K. A sad day in Beantown.

Harry Frazee had a home in Boston, but his main residence was on Park Avenue. He had made the comment that the "best thing about Boston was the train ride back to New York." A show business wheeler-dealer who owned a theater on 42nd Street in Manhattan, close by the New York Yankees offices, Frazee was a gambler. And he was always hustling, scuffling about for a buck, always overextended in one theatrical deal or another.

If it weren't for the WS victory, I think they'ld still be talking about the "Curse of the Bambino!"

    That sheet music should be like a red flag in front of a bull to Sox fans.
    Great item for these times.
