Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

[Philip Jeff Frye]

I mean - the whole premise is he traded/sold Ruth from the WS winning team.

I thought the whole premise was that he moved the best player in baseball history in order to finance No No Nanette.

Frazee did not sell the Red Sox until August 1, 1923, and he made further trades with the Yankees after selling Ruth.
No, No, Nanette didn't make Broadway until 1925 but was one of the most successful shows of the era.

An article people really should read, which discusses the poor relationship between Frazee and league president, Ban Johnson, WW 1, the collapse of the Red Sox in 1919 (of which Ruth had a part) was published by SABR on Frazee

Thank you for posting. Its recency bias at work but I think Markus Lynn Betts is my favorite baseball player ever just given how he carries himself. What an absolute beast.

This was a fascinating, informative article. Historical context is always important. The Sox were cursed, but it was actually the Curse of Tom Yawkey. Thank you for posting the link.

today was Mookie Betts’ 500th game with the Dodgers his 412 runs, 256 extra-base hits and 1,069 total bases are each the most in a player’s first 500 games with the Dodgers (since at least 1901) by a lot! here’s next-most in each:

R: Jackie Robinson 388
XBH: Johnny Frederick 243
TB: Mike Piazza 1,053
