1920's+Baseball

Tyler and Jimmy's project

Babe Ruth and the first radio broadcast of a baseball game Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs which was the new record for most home runs in a single season in 1927 - Here is a brief history of George Herman "Babe" Ruth - The next picture is a radio used back in the 1920's - And the video after that is about the first baseball game ever played (which is apparently being listened to on the radio.

Babe Ruth and baseball in the 1920's changed America by not only giving Americans something to do, but someone other then there soldiers to cheer for, and to craze over. Babe Ruth was the king of baseball at the time and gave young children someone to idolize, instead of Al Capone. Also the first radio broadcast of a baseball game changed America by giving people who couldn't make the game a chance to listen to it and still root for there team. Gave them a chance to hear about how beautiful another city or town is and maybe they'd even take a trip down there to see how it was. Gave Americans relaxation time as well because they could just sit back and listen to the game, or even other things like music and stories as well.
