Ban Johnson and VIPs at the 1920 World Series, the Lannin family. Paul, Dorothy, Johnson, Hannah, JJ

Notable Quotables at the 1920 Series, Brooklyn. The Lannins had owned the Red Sox and sold the team to Harry Frazee in 1917, who was then later infamous for selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees allegedly to finance his musical _No, No, Nanette_, but really to pay Lannin the money still owed him. Mr Lannin died eight years later after a fall from a ninth story window, believed to have been accidental, since he was worth $7m at the time.
