Babe Ruth Faces Critical Play In 1921 World Series
Billy Evans argues Ruth's 1921 form was hampered by a bad shoulder and illness yet he still carried heavy expectations for the Yankees in the series with the Giants. Ruth hit .313 with 59 homers and 204 hits that year, but managed only one homer in the 1921 World Series as pitchers focused on neutralizing him. Evans notes Ruth showed courage amid illness and a rough series, and predicts mixed prospects for Ruth in 1922 if the Yankees reach the World Series.
