Channeled this just today. If you know baseball history, you might know who these two men are, as photographed below.
On the left is Colonel Jacob Ruppert, beer baron owner of the New York Yankees. On the right is Harry Frazee, theatre magnate owner of the Boston Red Sox. Famously, after the 1919 season, Frazee sold his biggest star, star pitcher and home-run-record-setting outfielder Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees.
Well, the fix was in all along—both men are fictitious people.
The photographs are of Salvatore Luciano on the left, the public face of “Colonel Jacob Ruppert“, and his son Emil Luciano on the right, the public face of “Harry Frazee”.
Both franchises, and both fictional identities, were the property of John Pierpont “J.P.” Morgan, son of Otto von Bismarck, brother of global leader Kaiser Wilhelm and braintrust leader Elihu Root, and the nation’s leading financier.
Salvatore Luciano was the head of one of the Four Families who bought their way into the top level of Freemasonry in 1876 and operated as “The Mafia”. The families were represented by Luciano, Francisco Musitano, Salvatore Lorei, and Alessandro Gambino. Those families were descendants of the Medici banking family, and the break-in at Yale in 1875 was carried out by members of the Luciano, Lorei, and Gambino families as a strategic gambit.
The term “wop” stood for “Without Papers”, as in “undocumented”.
