Ruppert, heir to a New York brewing empire, purchased the team in 1915 and methodically assembled a roster that included \u003cstrong\u003eBabe Ruth\u003c\/strong\u003e, whom he had acquired from the Boston Red Sox in the most famous transaction in sports history. \u003cstrong\u003eEdward G. Barrow\u003c\/strong\u003e, the co-signer, served as the Yankees' general manager and was the architect behind the team's player development system, having discovered and nurtured talent that would define baseball for generations. The certificate was issued to \u003cstrong\u003eAnna C. A. Schaff\u003c\/strong\u003e during the height of the Yankees' early dominance, when the team was revolutionizing both the sport and the business of entertainment in New York City.
