With Ruth as the spark plug and
the magnet, the Yankees not only
began to win pennants, but to coin
money. The Babe clouted 81 home
runs, an unbelievable total, in 1920,
hit the 59-mark In 1921 and finally
set the present record Of so in 1927.
But If his home run production
went up by leaps and bounds, 50 did
his salary. Starting with the $40, 900
he drew in 1920, his first season with
the Yankees, Ruth forced Col. Rup-
pert to boost the ante until he was
drawing $4,000 for his work in 1880
and 1881.
Then, as the Babe began to slow
up, the figures dropped-to $4,000
in 1882. $4,000 in 1888 and s35,0oo
IN 1884. his Anal year with the
Yanks.
Maybe he's On the way back now.
