Trading Ruth

ctorg · 12-02-2003, 08:28 AM

I was just simming in an early 20th century league I'm doing, and the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth away for nothing, really, just like in real life. This time it was to his hometown of Baltimore, though (in the Federal League, which is more permanent in my leauge). They traded him straight up for a 5-star rookie who ended up being a 1.5-gold-star player who shuttles between the majors and minors regularly.

Anyone else seen such reflections of real life stupidities?

Yes, just join an online league and you will see it more than you want to!

But did they also get $125,000 to finance a moronic play?

hah, I'm also playing a historic league, but I let teams draft the players, and guess what the Yankees drafted Ruth, then traded him to Boston (though it was the Braves not the Red Sox) and got two relievers in return.
