About Nostalgia & Eras
The 1920s were a decade when sport stopped being a pastime and became a spectacle. Vast new stadiums drew tens of thousands, and the wireless carried the roar of the crowd into parlours across the land. Names like Ruth, Dempsey, and Jones were spoken with the reverence once reserved for kings — ordinary men who did extraordinary things under bright afternoon skies.
