Sports in the the 1920's
Well the first thing that I'm going to start out with is Babe Ruth since he was that best player in history in my opinion in 1927 he broke the home run record with the most home runs in one year which is 60. then for swimming Johnny Weissmuller swims 100m in 58.6 Seconds in the year of 1922 i know nothing about swimming but that does seem kind of fast if you ask me. In 1922 Water skiing was finally invented in Minnesota by Ralph Samuelson.
Greyhound racing in great Britain was invented in 1925 which was so that people could train there dogs and hopefully do good so then they could make quite a bit of money off of them. Gertrude Ederle Swam in the English channel.
1920's basketball, professional basketball players would get payed around 40 to 125 dollars a game which now a days is not nearly the amount they get paid now. The Celtics were the most dominant team back then since they had such a good franchise. there were very few teams playing there were probably only around 12 to fifteen teams playing in the league.
My opinion to this is that there were a lot of goals set and records. Many sports were just starting to come out so there were not very many to choose to from than there were but many famous people made history during that time

Good but a bit brief overall.
