Complete issue of the Youngstown Vindicator from May 2, 1918, 24 pages, 16.5 x 22.5, featuring a headline in the sports section: "Boston Sox Refuse $100,000 for 'Babe' Ruth. Owner Frazee Will Keep Star." The article quotes Red Sox owner Harry Frazee as saying, 'I might as well sell the franchise and the whole club as Ruth…It is ridiculous to talk about it. Ruth is our Big Ace. He's the most-talked-of, most-sought-for, most-colorful ball player in the game.' In very good to fine condition, with binding slits to left edge, and light toning and chipping to brittle edges. At the beginning of 1920, Frazee would ultimately sell Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000 in cash.
