  1919 - Owner Frazee loses interest in baseball. He wants to be a Broadway    
  musical producer and needs cash to produce "No No Nanette". All Red Sox Outfield:  
  fans could do is say "No No Harry". Frazee essentially sells his team to the Ira Flagstead (14.8) -    55  
  Yankees for $290K all told. A huge number back in those days Mike Menosky (4.91) -    18

  □  1921 -Harry Hooper --> Chicago for Nemo Leibold and Shano Collins Quinn was the baseball man, having just led the Browns to some good  
  □  1922 - Stuffy McInnis --> Cleveland for George Burns, Slimm Harris success. Winslow was the money man. However, Winslow died shortly  
  □  1922 - Sad Sam Jones, Bullet Joe Bush and Everett Scott --> Yankees for  thereafter and the Red Sox, familiarly, were left bereft of cash. Red Sox   
   $100K plus Jack Quinn, Roger Peckinpaugh, Rip Collins fans still thought that it couldn't possibly get worse. They were wrong.  
   □  1923 - Herb Pennock --> Yankees for $50K + 3 warm bodies    
    1924 - Poor Bob Quinn. He now had no money. He would spend most of  
    the rest of his career in Boston trying to make ends meet on a shoestring

    1925 - The Sox spend the rest of the decade averaging 52-102.
