Ambitious Home Run Hitters, 08/03/1920

On September 30, 1927 New York Yankee Babe Ruth became the first baseball player in the major leagues to hit 60 home runs in a season. Years earlier in 1920, Clifford Berryman’s political cartoon featured Presidential candidates Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox pondering Ruth’s secret of success.  Harding hit a “home run” in the November elections and beat Cox by a landslide.
