He promptly offered the 19-year-old boy $100 & month, mere money than Ruth had seen in a lifetime. A few days later in 1914 he was with Orioles. f Before he had played a full geason, he was purchased by the Red Sox, who sent him to Providence, R. I, for further seasoning.

Mr. Ruth, pitching that day, May 6, 1915, stepped to the plate in the third inning and smashed a ball off Yankee pitcher Jack Warhop over the right field roof for the first of 714 homers that he was to hit in his lifetime. Mr. Ruth was sold to New York the following season for the unheard of price of $125,000. Later events proved it was the greatest bargain in all baseball history.
