| Babe Ruth |
JANUARY 3
1953:Rep. Frances Bolton and her son, Rep. Oliver Bolton, both Republicans
from Ohio, become the first and only mother and son to serve
simultaneously in Congress
1920: Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sells Babe Ruth's
contract to the New York Yankees for $125,000 and more than $300,000 in
loans, beginning the Yankees' greatest years of baseball
success — they will win 29 American League pennants between 1921 and
1964. The Red Sox, on the other hand, suffered from the "curse of the
Bambino" and did not win a World Series until 2004.
