		Much more than a baseball man, Frazee was an entrepreneur who viewed his team the same way he looked at his Broadway productions: as a revenue stream.
		Frazee had sold off talent before — in 1916, he sent his best player, Tris Speaker, to the Cleveland Indians — and still the Red Sox kept winning World Series.
		Ruth may have been the greatest two-way talent in the game, but he was becoming increasingly incorrigible, grousing about money (he wanted his $10,000 salary doubled), bailing out on the final game of the 1919 season to appear in a pay-for-play exhibition game and doing his customary carousing.
