The decade following World War I was known as the "Roaring Twenties," and sports were no exception, from Babe Ruth's fateful trade to the New York Yankees to a transcontinental footrace from Los Angeles to New York. Following this decade of letting loose was the more somber 1930s, a time of worldwide economic depression. Jesse Owens's four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and War Admiral's Triple Crown win served as beacons of light for a downtrodden nation. Learn about these events, and many more, in 1920–1939, Second Edition. Highlights include: Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sells Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920 Four powerful players on University of Notre Dame's football team are dubbed "the Four Horsemen" by sportswriter Grantland Rice in 1924 The Harlem Globetrotters launch a basketball legacy in 1927 The Transcontinental Race, a foot race from Los Angeles to New York, is run over 84 days in 1928 One of football's most celebrated coaches, Knute Rockne of University of Notre Dame, dies in a plane crash in 1931 Babe Didrikson, one of the greatest female athletes of all time, wins two gold medals and a silver medal at the 1932 Olympics African-American athlete Jesse Owens wins four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, striking a blow against Nazi racism War Admiral wins the Triple Crown in 1937.
