		The Negro Baseball Leagues came into existence in the 1920s, when baseball was truly America's sport.

	Babe Ruth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ruth's season was so dominating that it led to one of the most amazing statistics in baseball history: In 1920, Ruth out-homered all but one team in baseball (the Philadelphia Phillies hit 64).
		From 1920 to 1934, during Ruth's tenure as a Yankee, the Boston Red Sox were the worst team in the American League.
		For example, in 1918 Ruth had a game-ending hit over the fence that was only scored as a triple because rules in effect until 1920 stated that in that situation, only the minimun hit needed to score the winning run would be credited, and there was a runner on first.

	Encyclopedia: Babe Ruth
		A few baseball people even gave Ruth credit for "saving" baseball after the Black Sox scandal broke in the fall of 1920, and although this was not true, Ruth's exploits on the field likely won back some fans who had been soured by the scandal.
		Waite Hoyt (September 9, 1899â€“August 25, 1984) was a baseball player and one of the dominant pitchers of the 1920s.
		One major reason was that baseball in 1920 outlawed the spitball pitch (with some exceptions), the emery (scuffed) pitch, and all unorthodox pitching deliveries.
