Best Postseason Batters 1920s

Let's try to imagine to thrill baseball fans got when the live ball era began. There was now the chance for a slugfest instead of a pitcher's duel. And while we actually like a pitcher's duel alot, the variety that the long ball era allowed, made the game more exciting and diverse, until steroids came into play and turned some parks into video game galleries.

Now let's try to imagine witnessing the slugging prowess of the Babe in his heyday and the House that Ruth Built, Yankee Stadium, now gone. Try to contain yourself when you're calculating how many home runs Babe would hit in the current new Yankee stadium. Katy, bar the door. Not unlike his dominance over the course of the regular seasons during the Yankee decade, Babe Ruth takes the top four spots in the best World Series of the decade of the 1920s as well.
