Best Answer

Thanks to his prodigious home runs and success during the 1920s, he almost singlehandedly rescued Major League Baseball from the nadir of the 1919 World Series. In the "Black Sox Scandal," several members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of deliberately throwing the 1919 Series. Most of them were banned from baseball forever.

Ruth also became one of the first major celebrities of the 20th century and a worldwide superstar. His autographs were coveted by fans and his endorsements were valued by advertisers. As the story goes, Ruth was informed that he had earned more money one year than the President of the United States. Ruth's reponse: "I had a better year than he did."
