The Babe Ruth Era.
In 1920 Babe Ruth joined the New York Yankees. Around that time, teams began using livelier baseballs. Ruth began hitting more and longer home runs than anyone thought possible. He hit more than 50 homers in four different seasons, including a record 60 home runs in 1927. Before Ruth, no player had hit more than 24 in a season. Ruth had hit 714 home runs when he retired in 1935.
Babe Ruth’s fame became so great that the 1920’s, for baseball, is often called the “Babe Ruth Era.” Wherever the Yankees played, fans flocked to see Ruth. Large numbers of people who knew nothing about the game began following Ruth’s career. In addition, Ruth’s success helped change baseball strategies. More batters became full swingers rather than place hitters and home runs became a leading part of the game.
Some of the other stars of the babe Ruth Era included first baseman Lou Gehrig. Gehrig became the first modern player to hit four home runs in a game. He also played in 2,130 consecutive games, a major league record until Cal Ripken, Jr., broke it in 1995. Rogers Hornsby reached his peak during the era. In 1924, he hit .424 for the St. Louis Cardinals, a modern record.
Many radio stations began broadcasting baseball games during the 1920’s. As a result, play by play accounts of baseball games reached millions of people. Check out our complete selection of Christmas Stocking Stuffers .
