Lou Criger 1901-1908 1910 Starting C for the first World Champions (1903), with a .192 BA in 317 AB. Played 27 games in New York as a 38 year old catcher, 4th oldest player in league.
Frank Foreman 1901 1901-1902 Thirty-eight year old lefty who had been out of the "major leagues" since 1896. Started one game for Boston and lost a complete game.

His trade to New York for rookie Bob Unglaub was a give away, instigated by AL president Ban Johnson to help stablize the New York franchise in the ongoing baseball wars between the two leagues.
Doc Adkins 1902 1903 Twenty innings for Boston, seven innings for New York. Next.
Jake Stahl 1903, 1908-1913 1908 Rookie C on the 1903 Champs, finished as part time 1b on the 1912 Champs. Didn't get into the 1903 WS. Sold to the Senators in the off season, purchased by Boston during the 1908 season from New York. Was AL HR king in 1910 with 10 round trippers.
John Knight 1907 1909-1911, 1913 Picked up by the Red Sox from the Athletics for Jimmy Collins. Batted a robust .217 for the Sox. Waived by the Sox and picked up by New York in 1909. Batted .310 for New York in 1910.
George Whiteman 1907, 1918 1913 All three seasons in the majors stretched out over 12 years, but played 25 years in professional baseball. The hero of the 1918 World Series, he was in the middle of almost every rally and made a game saving catch in Game 6, the final game of the Series.
Harry Wolter 1909 1910-1913 A pitcher in Boston (4-4, 3.51) who when waived by the Sox, becomes an OF in New York, batting .304 in 1911. Advantage: New York
Duffy Lewis 1910-1917 1919-1920 The start of the Frazee selloff. The mound of dirt that used to lead to the Green Monster was name for him (Duffy's Cliff). Renowned glove man. Part of the 1912, 1915, and 1917 World Champs. Missed 1918 because of WW1.
Marty McHale 1910-1911, 1916 1913-1915 Pitcher who was 0-3, 5.90 ERA over 29 innings for the Red Sox, 12-27, 3.28 ERA over 318 innings for New York. Advantage: Red Sox because of the fewer innings pitched.
Les Nunamaker 1911-1914 1914-1917 Backup catcher who hit .296 for the Yankees in 260 ABs. Advantage: New York.
Everett Scott 1914-1921 1922-1925 Part of the Frazee fire sale. Shortstop who helped the Sox win 3 World Championships and the Yankees win their first World Championship. Held the consecutive games played record prior to the Iron Horse.
Ernie Shore 1914-1917 1919-1920 Another Frazee fire sale. The perfect game in relief of Babe Ruth. Traded with Duffy Lewis to the Yankees. Once a 19 game winner with the Sox, Shore was 7-10 with the Yankees over 2 seasons. Advantage: Boston.
Babe Ruth 1914-1919 1920-1934 The greatest player of the 20th century. Sold by Frazee. The trade, in hindsight, is considered a major mistake. Advantage: New York.
Mike McNally 1915-1920 1921-1925 Light-hitting utility IF. Part of the Frazee purge.
Carl Mays 1915-1919 1919-1923 Mays was 79-39 with New York, 72-51 with Boston. The tragedy of Ray Chapman dogged him for the rest of his career and may be the reason Mays is not in the Hall of Fame.
Herb Pennock 1915-1917, 1919-1922, 1934 1923-1933 One of the last of the Frazee liquidation sale, long after the luster of the 1918 season was long gone. Went from a career .500 pitcher to a Hall of Famer once he donned the pinstripes. Coach for Sox, 1936-1940 and later he was the Red Sox farm director.
Sad Sam Jones 1916-1921 1922-1926 Frazee fire sale. Only man in history to win and lose 20 game seasons for both the Red Sox and the Yankees.

Braggo Roth 1919 1921 Backup OF. No Advantage.

Harry Harper 1920 1921 Sox picked up Harper from the Senators after a 6-21, 3.72 ERA season in 1919. He "improved" to 5-14, 3.04 ERA in 1920. Part of the Hoyt/Schang trade, Harper goes 4-3, 3.76, and has only 4 innings left in his arm for his career. Push.
George Burns 1922-1923 1928-1929 RH 1b that hit .361 for Cleveland in 1921, earning him a trade to Boston. In Boston, he hits .306 and .328, which earns him a trip back to Cleveland. Went 2-13 over parts of 2 seasons for the Yankees at the very end of his career. Won the 1926 AL MVP, back when a player could only win the award once in his career (Babe Ruth would have won the award going away that season otherwise).
Jumping Joe Dugan 1922 1922-1928 Sox traded to get Dugan to play 3b in 1922, they then trade/sell him to the Yankees in late July. The Yankees get their 3b for their glory years in the 1920s, the Sox get 4 players and $50K. Huge Advantage: New York.
Elmer Smith 1922 1922-1923 Came over from Cleveland with George Burns, leaves for New York with Joe Dugan. Starting RF for Sox who becomes backup for the Yankees, he hits .306 in 1923 in 70 games.

Red Ruffing 1924-1930 1930-1942, 1945-1946 Workhorse on some very bad Red Sox teams in the late 20s. He was 9-18 in 1925, 10-25 in 1928, and 9-22 in 1929. Traded/sold to the Yankees, he turns into a 4-time 20 game winner and a Hall of Famer. Huge advantage: Yankees.

Danny MacFayden 1926-1932 1932-1934 Back-end of the rotation RHP for Sox. Traded/sold to the Yankees in the midst of a 1-10 start to the 1932 season. Yankees overpaid for his 7 wins in 1932, and his 7 wins total for 1933-1934. Advantage: Red Sox.

Elmer Miller 1922 1915-1918, 1921-1922 Weak-hitting CF that was packaged into the Joe Dugan sale. Batted .190 for the Sox in a partial season, his last in the ML.
Chick Fewster 1922-1923 1917-1922 Another player thrown into the Joe Dugan sale. Utility IF.
Jack Quinn 1922-1925 1909-1912, 1919-1921 Part of the Everett Scott deal. Came up as a 25 year old rookie RHP for the Highlanders. He lasted in the majors past his 49th birthday. His best season was in the Federal League in 1915, but was a very solid pitcher for 3 seasons with very bad Sox teams in the early 1920s.
Rip Collins 1922 1920-1921 Part of the Everett Scott deal. Very serviceable P for both the Sox and Yankees. 25-13 for the Yankees over 2 seasons, 14-11 for the Sox in the one season in Boston, a team that finished in the cellar of the AL. Sold off to the Tigers after the 1922 season.
Alex Ferguson 1922-1925 1918, 1921, 1925 Waived by the Yankees prior to the 1922 season. Turned in 9-16, 9-13, and 14-17 seasons on terrible Red Sox teams. Someone had to eat up innings. Traded back to the Yankees in 1925 in a deal that involved cash. Career record of 61-85, 4.89 ERA.
Bill Piercy 1922-1924 1917, 1921 Part of the Everett Scott deal. Went 8-17, 3.41 ERA in 1923 in his career year. No wonder the Sox won all of 61 games in 1923.
Norm McMillan 1923 1922 Part of flotsam in the Herb Pennock sale. A .253 hitter while covering the IF for the Sox in 1923.
Al DeVormer 1923 1921-1922 Backup catcher involved in a cash/trade deal for George Pipgras.
Camp Skinner 1923 1922 OF who was another part of the Herb Pennock sale. He had 33 ABs, .182 BA for New York, and 13 ABs, .231 for the Sox. His only two years in the majors.
George Murray 1923 1922 Pitcher in the Pennock firesale. He had a career year in Boston, 7-11, 4.91 ERA in 177 2/3 innings. Had a career 20-26, 5.38 ERA over 6 seasons.
Lefty O'Doul 1919-1920, 1922 1923 Throw-in in the Joe Dugan sale. Was a washed up lefty reliever when the Sox released him in 1923, but went to the Pacific Coast League, learned to hit, and returned to the majors in 1928 to light the NL in hitting. Hit .398 in 1929, won 2 batting titles, and ended with a career BA of .349. The Sox and the Yankees both missed out here.
Joe Lucey 1925 1920 Entire ML career as follows: 0-3 as IF for Yankees in 1920; 2-15 as a P/SS for Sox in 1925, with an 0-1, 9.00 ERA in 11 innings. At least he proved that he wasn't just a bad hitter, he was a bad pitcher as well.
Ray Francis 1925 1925 Throw in to make the Bobby Veach sale look like a trade. In New York, 0-0, 7.71 ERA, in Boston, 0-2, 7.71 ERA. Advantage: New York by 2 less losses.
Fred Hofmann 1927-1928 1919-1925 Back-up C. Entire career with just the Sox and Yankees.
Pee-Wee Wanninger 1927 1925 Weak hitting SS. Starter for the Yankees in 1925. Gone after 60 ABs for Sox in 1927. Advantage: Sox.
Milt Gaston 1929-1931 1924 RHP who was 5-3 for the Yankees as a rookie and 27-52 in his 3 years in Boston.
Cedric Durst 1930 1927-1929 Utility OF on the Yankees. Starting OF for Sox in 1930. Batted .245 for the Sox. Advantage: Yankees. Came to the Sox in the Red Ruffing trade/sale.
Ben Shields 1930 1924-1925 LHP who pitched 26 IP for the Yankees and 10 IP for the Red Sox. Next.
Wilcy Moore 1931-1932 1927-1929, 1932-1933 RHP who won 19 games and the ERA crown as a rookie in 1927. Never came close to those numbers again. Went 15-23 for the Sox in his two years in Fenway.
Ivy Andrews 1932-1933 1931-1932, 1937-1938 RHP who was 8-6 with the Yankees in 2 stints and 15-19 for the Sox over two seasons. Traded to the Sox in the Danny MacFadden deal.
Dusty Rhodes 1929-1932 1932-1935 RHP who was 9-19 with the Yankees and 27-45 for the Sox. He was worse in his final season in the majors with the Athletics, when he was 9-20.
