The period prior to the 1920's was known in baseball as the 'dead ball era' in reference to the lack of hits by players. Dramatic changes such as outfield fences being brought in closer to the infield in larger parks and new rules that determined the construction and design of the ball that made the ball go farther when hit by a bat. These changes worked to the advantage of batters and made for more exciting games.
