"...selling and trading [baseball] players has always taken place and has always been booed or cheered by fans. But if you think players have been traded only for money, here's some food for thought: Chattanooga shortstop Johnny Jones was traded to Charlotte for turkeys so that the Chattanooga team could have a Thanksgiving dinner. Minor league pitcher Joe Martina was traded for a sack of oysters, and worst of all, Jack Fenton was traded to San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League for a bag of prunes."
