16.16 The curse of the Bambino. In 1920, the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000. Between 1920 and 2004, the Yankees won 26 World Series and the Red Sox won 1 (and that occurred in 2004). The Red Sox victory in 2004 supposedly broke the curse. How much is $125,000 in 2004 dollars?
