Strange As It Seems Coffee Ad Predates Modern Ads
John Hix notes the first printed coffee advertisement, now in the British Museum, touting coffee as a cure all and energy booster.

Lighter Bats Boost Jimmie Foxx Slugging Pace
Jimmie Foxx, early 1930s star, credits lighter bats under 37 ounces for his .400 average and rising home run pace. He switched to thinner grips to gain swing speed and extra time to judge pitches, explaining faster bat speed and smarter contact lead to more distance. Experts note a fastball reaches the mitt in under a fifth of a second in a West Point test.
