The 1920s also were a golden period
for sports. The greatest single sports
hero of the period was the baseball
player, Babe Ruth.
Ruth was a large man who could hit a
baseball farther than any other
human being. He became as famous
for his wild enjoyment of life as for his
excellent playing on the baseball field.
Babe Ruth loved to drink, to be with
women, and to play with children.
