Babe Ruth was the biggest star in baseball, and his home runs and slugging percentage records stood for decades. Other great players from this era include Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, and Walter Johnson.
Football
Football became increasingly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The University of Notre Dame was the dominant team of the era, winning six national championships in a span of 12 years. Red Grange was the biggest star in football, and his running ability revolutionized the game. Other great players from this era include Jim Thorpe, Bronko Nagurski, and Sammy Baugh.
