Sports of the 20's had a long lasting social impact on America. Most notably, the success of athletes in the 20's inspired schools of all sizes to create their own teams. What would school have been like with no football or Basketball season? Newspapers, magazines, and radio boosted the profile of athletes to almost cult like followings. In Baseball, you had Babe Ruth breaking the HR record in '27. In football, Red Grange earned the moniker "The Galloping Ghost" and played in the newly formed NFL. The momentum created by athletes of the 20's helped to build the popularity enjoyed today. Sports have always been a human method of diversion from political and social issues that create stress. From the days of gladiators to modern day obsession with sports. Games are history's greatest distraction.
