Offensively, the most glaring difference is the number of runs being scored, compared to the 1920's This can be attributed to a number of things, but mainly the reliance on the home run for offense more now, than in the 20's Looking at any statistics, such as home runs per game (per player. etc.) shows that a lot more home runs were hit "post Babe Ruth". So things like stealing bases, bunting, hit-and-run, and most things that today we consider "small-ball" were just normal parts of the game back then. Most people look at the strength of the players improving over the years, as a major factor in the power surge. Also, there were a lot larger ballpaks.
Defensively, the most obvious difference is the way managers use their pitchers.
Some good numbers to show this would be number of innings per start, for a pitcher, or number of pitchers per game, number of complete games in a year, etc. It will be obvious that back in the '20's, managers expected a lot more from their starting pitchers, and a "bullpen" wasn't turned to as often. Today, there are so many "specialist" roles in a bullpen, that a starting pitcher is sometimes only asked to get a little past the halfway point, to turn the ball over to the bullpen. Closers, "setup men", left-handed specialists, etc. are now identifiable roles that a manager has for his bullpen. The term "quality start" is only a recent term used to describe when a pitcher goes 6 innings, giving up 3 runs or less. In fact, sometimes 6 innings is all a pitcher needs to throw, to leave to applause from the home crowd.
Now when the season is over the players go on vacation & enjoy there time off,years ago after the season most of the players didn`t make enough money playing Baseball so they went to work in the off season...With the money they make today no pro ball player has to worry about that..
It was similar in style to the uniforms of other armies at that time. Try typing "Texan Army uniform" or "Republic of Texas uniforms" for pictures. At the Alamo, only some of the men were uniformed, and the rest wore civilian clothing.
People bought a lot of things on credit -- sorta like now
No, because they play as a team. It is a team effort.
yes. I currently do this now
Nothing
they had less laws and there class structure was different. They also didn't have computers like we do now and they had different technology for the classes. Also in the 1920s schools were segregated, which means black students had to go to a different school then did white students.
Lots of schools now have uniforms whether they are private or public.
Most cities now have a special headquarters where you can shop with ease and purchase the uniforms that are now demanded for school attire. The price is now reasonable and in the end it saves the parents time and energy from bargain hunting for regular clothing that used to be the norm for school attire. The choices now for uniforms are more fashionable than when the children first started wearing them, A lot of kids now where their uniforms with pride.
Advancement in technology.
Uniform Advantage is one of the most largest uniforms company. They offer nursing uniforms and they are now shipping outside the US, such as to Canada.
Yes, because the one's from this past season are worn and dirty. So, of course they will get new uniforms next season (Unless the new owner is REALLY cheap!).... Now, whether they get a new uniform design is an entirely different topic...
well i looked it up a while ago and it appeared to be like all guys that cheered now obviously its mostly girls and the uniforms hav changed a lot cos it used to be really long uniforms and that and now its not, lol i know that i dont really know but i hope it kind of helped :P ;) x

Several different portraits appeared before Andrew Jackson was selected in the 1920s. See the Related Link for specifics.
As of now, the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, and L.A. Clippers have all unveiled new uniforms, while the Golden State Warriors will also unveil new uniforms at some point this offseason.
YES! My school is a public school, in fact im at school now
