WTF?!?!-ism #1

Babe Ruth was traded by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees in 1919 fo4 $100,000 ($1,063,667 in todays money--a pittance for Babe Ruth--).

In 1925, the New York Yankees offered the Iron Horse Lou Gehrig to the Red Sox to make up for the lopsided deal. The Red Sox declined.

WTF!?!?!?

A lineup that would eventualy have Gehrig and Williams?!?! You decline Lou Friggin' Gehrig!?!?!?

What's even more amazing, is that the Yankees would offer one of their best players to a BLOOD RIVAL is uncomprehendable in todays MLB. WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111!!!!!!!!!!11111??????????????????????????????????????????????
