Much has changed since then in the game of tennis by having many new leagues and championships created, Such as the French open , U.S open and Wimbledon.  a Player called William Tatem tilden aka " Big Bill" was one of the so-called fathers of tennis and he was one of the best players of all time and almost a founder you could say. Rackets and tennis balls used back then have been changed to be more efficient and useful. Also for this sport this was one of the first sports where women were allowed and noticed inside a game! Athletes such as helen wills and Susanne lenglen were among the first female tennis players and helped shape females sports.]]> 2016-02-02 14:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92580564 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92582636 Football is one of the most played sports in the homes in the U.S. and is another American favorite.All-around athlete and football star Jim Thorpe, meet to organize a professional football league at the Jordan and Hupmobile Auto Showroom in Canton, Ohio.His meeting led to the creation of the American Professional Football Conference (APFC), the forerunner to the hugely successful National Football League.

Babe Ruth, The Great Bambino, The Sultan of Swat, the game revolved around the home run, and during his time, he was the best. During the 1920's, radios could now be massed produced, and massed produced cheaply. It was the way to get the information about the game. Many families in the Midwest and the Mideast tuned in to hear some of the greats of radio bring the game to life. Babe Ruth has shaped Baseball into what we know it as today, as did other players like Lou Gehrig along with Rogers Hornsby, Grover Cleveland Alexander, George Sisler, Tris Speaker, and Pie Traynor.                                                                                                                         "There is no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a game for all." - Lou gehrig]]> 2016-02-02 14:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92582731 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92585640 2016-02-02 14:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92585640 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92586314 2016-02-02 14:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92586314 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92587207 2016-02-02 14:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92587207 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92587541 2016-02-02 14:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92587541 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92589529 2016-02-02 14:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92589529 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92590395 2016-02-02 14:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92590395 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92601812

Unlike football, baseball in todays age has not changed much and the game has stayed the same and kept its 1920's feel. Although many stadiums have been built for every team to have their home stadium and also a lot of new gear and bats have been made to be more efficient and safer for the players. Baseball today has had a new wave of stars and many have been compared to the greats of 1920. Such as Yankees Derek Jeter and the Red Sox's David ortiz.]]> 2016-02-02 14:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92603524 17dillg https://padlet.com/17dillg/iu9n30yghox9/wish/92606156
