This is the first of a five part series on Changing Baseball by Harry Grayson. It discusses how Babe Ruth's power era led to a livelier ball and faster plays, affecting infield action and baserunning with players like Gehringer Crosetti Heffner and DuRocher cited. It notes earlier styles and cites runners stealing and third-base plays, suggesting current hitters influence on game pace.
