Babe Ruth was the first player to change the face of baseball by being a power hitter. Prior to him, the pitcher dominated the games. Baseball has endured through scandals like the 1919 World Series and more recently in 1994 when the players canceled the World Series because of a strike.

Even game attendance is around 70 million spectators a year.

Today, the science of baseball has become very important to not only the player with the team owners as well. It has become a much faster and slicker game than it ever used the period with training and conditioning players can be better than they used to be.
