Macallan- Sports Challenge

You and many of your young buckaroo friends must have had a hard weekend. Only a few of you have posted.I may have to change my thinking- my ties are older than a lot of you, and I have fillings older than almost all of you.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the youth of today- you are our future.
With my best intentions- let's get something started. A new challange to all.

Rules: Your answer can only come from memory- no Almanacs- no sports books. I trust all of yuou.
Only one person has answered this trivia question correctly in the last twenty years and it was me.

Question- Babe Ruth was traded to the New York Yankees by the Boston Red Sox. Ruth was to play right field for the Yankees in the coming season.A current roster New York Yankee outfielder who hated Ruth called the Yankee owner and asked "is this Ruth trade for real."When the Yankee Owner replied " Yes the trade is real" the outfielder stated " I quit" and he did.
He went on to be one of the most famous person in all sports history. Who was this man?

The PM's on this is out of control. I forget who helped me unlock the easy to answer PM's- but my thanks. Amberfourm.com & private messages is easy and I'm pre-loged on. It takes four tries of re-entering- page cannot be accessed. Just the problems with time and speed. AND I DON'T LIKE IT. My monthly server charge via telephone is #30 a month and it is slow.I refuse to pay $100 a month- the quoted price in my area. I can reduce this to $60 a month if If I buy $1,000 of equipment. THIS SUCKS.
To those of us who remember when TV was free, I never thought I would pay for TV. I did agree to $9 a month in 1980 when cable came through my neighborhood. I now pay $ 100 a month and nothing good to watch except a few Discovery,History and Golf Channels- Food TV is also OK.
This is just an old guy venting but I would rather have the old days, and spend the extra money on CIGARS,GRANDSON & WINE.
I love the internet for information- I am an animal for new information, but I survived when it was the Library.
I quess the end of this is as follows:
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SPENT TIME IN THE LIBRARY PULLING BOOKS AND READING.

George Hallas quit the Yankees and later went on to be a founding father of the National Football League via the CHICAGO BEARS.
Look it up.
