Harry Herbert FrazeeHarry Herbert Frazee was the owner of the Boston Red Sox when Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees. Frazee owned the Red Sox from 1916 to 1923.
The name of the play was "No, No, Nanette," which was a musical version of a play Frazee produced in 1920 called "My Lady Friends." The problem is there is absolutely no proof Frazee used any of the proceeds from the Ruth sale to finance any of his Broadway productions. Frazee sold Ruth in January 1920, but he didn't announce plans to produce "No, No, Nanette" until May 1923; the musical didn't open OFF Broadway until 1924; and it didn't open ON Broadway until 1925. Whomever first wrote that Frazee sold Ruth to finance "No, No, Nanette" didn't do his home work.

He did not want to go, he was traded for cash. Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees by Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee for $125,000. After the 1919 season, Babe wanted a pay raise and said he wouldn't play if he didn't get it. Frazee lost patience with him and after turning down a trade with the Chicago White Sox, he agreed to the all cash deal with the Yankees.
