Baseball 1920s – mid 30s hitters and how they changed the game
The Babe Ruth Era was a time in baseball where America was exposed to the most dominating offensive player in Baseball History. George Herman Ruth single handedly changed the way we view offensive statistics, and set the standard of what it takes to be a great hitter even in today’s game.

The Outstanding baseball players of the 1920s and 30s
This era is well known for the “Black Sox Scandal” which occurred in the 1919 World Series. Several Chicago players conspired with gamblers to throw the World Series in order to make additional money. This was the first example in baseball where there was a lack of integrity in the game. The scandal created a need for some leadership in professional baseball and led to the first commissioner of baseball in 1920.This scandal nearly destroyed the game of baseball, and the game lost its luster until the emergence of “The Babe.”
