Red Sox owner Harry Frazee buys a World Series title for Boston in 1918

Just the mention of the name Harry Frazee brings up visions of the devil incarnate over Frazee’s dismantling of a successful team and tossing the Red Sox into an 86 year funk, but there is another side to Frazee – his successful maneuvering and spending money to secure a 1918 championship.

Frazee as most Red Sox fans know was a theatrical producer and that is a high-risk business as the show becomes a hit or the curtain closes after opening night. Frazee was also a noted boxing promoter so you have a nice connection to baseball – entertainment and sports.
