As America soars through the 1920s, baseball grows popular worldwide. One big reason is a saloonkeeper's son, who becomes the best-known athlete in American history. The astounding play of Babe Ruth captivates people everywhere, making him a household name - the first superstar known to fans and non-fans alike. Leading the Yankees' "Murderer's Row," Ruth hits a milestone 60 homers in 1927, securing his legend forever. It would be handed down through generations, like "A National Heirloom."
