The game's stars were widely known coast to coast. The sport was played with sound fundamentals as hurlers brushed back hitters and pitched into the late innings, batters hit behind the runner and executed perfect sacrifice bunts, baserunners went hard into second base, and fielders crashed into walls to make seemingly impossible catches. Coupled with the growing infusion of African American and Latino talent, the quality of play had never been stronger. Holding down a position on a big-league club was extraordinarily competitive. Meanwhile, the nation was evolving with ramifications for the game of baseball and its players.
