The prospect of issuing a loan which would add interest would put the Old Roman ahead financially. Even if Frazee defaulted on the loan, Comiskey would gain Fenway. It was a win-win situation.<br /><br />If the Red Sox were to fold because of their financial state, Jackson would probably end up back in Chicago anyway. Comiskey may have been stingy or frugal, but he could sniff out a great deal and he rewarded the players who played for him honestly.<br /><br />Even the limited trips to Comiskey Park produced 45 home runs during regulation games for Ruth. I don't think he would have had a problem playing there for half of the games each season.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-41947058900202544192009-07-02T16:57:53.170-05:002009-07-02T16:57:53.170-05:00Wouldn't have happened.

I think it was a little harder for a left-handed home run hitter than The House That Ruth Built, but Babe could have hit the ball out of Yellowstone.MMayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893007769493689849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-30025155949545143052009-07-01T19:52:29.993-05:002009-07-01T19:52:29.993-05:00Definitely an interesting thought.
