The Social and Economic standpoint of the 1920s, led Americans to have a sense of unease. This uneasiness made a need for Americans to find a hero they can look up to. This is because many Americans want to hold on to their individualism that had been taken away from them by the rise of a more urban America. Qualities such as physical, and personal strength, individual style and honor seemed to not be relevant in the new America but many heroes hold these qualities. Star athletes in many sports were the perfect frame for this ideology. During the 1920s an athletic hero was the same as a a pathfinder or pioneer. In a sporting event, people believed these athletes went through very tough obstacles and overcame them with a lot of talent and determination. Some idols included, in golf, Robert T. “Bobby” Jones, Walter Hagen, and Gene Sarazen were the more popular heroes. The Tennis players included “Big” Bill Tilden, and “Little” Bill Johnson who had the most intense Tennis matches. Baseball was the more popular and National game in America at the time. Babe Ruth was the most famous and millions of Americans looked up to him. He was so heroic to the American people that many of his personal issues were overlooked by almost all.
