Hear, hear, Valin. Please let me know when the coronation is to take place. BTW! Thank you for the history each day. It's fun learning so many little tidbits each day.

1917 Red Sox sell Smokey Joe Wood, his arm dead at 26, to Cleveland for $15,000

Sometimes (in my humble opinion) a story can do more than any post of a graphic ever could.

Smokey Joe Wood was one of the greatest pitchers that the Red Sox have ever had.

I went looking for conversion charts in order to show just what $15,000 dollars in 1917 would equate to in todays terms.

I found myself caught up in learning some fascinating things about Economies and Inflation.I actually forgot (for a brief moment) why I was looking into this stuff in the first place.

It struck me as a bit funny, thus I share it here. I love to laugh!
