Ruth certainly took maximum advantage of the demise of the dead ball era, and opened owners' eyes regarding the popularity of home runs, but Ray Chapman took the fastball that drove a steak in its heart:

yes absolutely. the black sox scandal was on the precipice; ruth was the beginning of the new age, but the encounter between chapman and mays was the force and moment that changed the game forever.

But remember, there are folks out there that think, back in 1920, or 1930, 40, 50, 60, or 1970 for that matter, pitchers were throwing slow pitch softball. That only the pitchers of today could throw 100 mph, which, incidentally, is about what it takes to make the "zzzzzz" noise or The Big Train sound produced by Walter Johnson. What nonsense!

What's funny is that today's MLB stars can't hit crackerjack women's softball pitchers:
