They depicts how the play on the field shifted from the low-scoring, pitcher-dominated game of the \"dead ball\" era before World War I to the higher scoring of the 1920's \"lively ball\" era, with emphasis on home runs, best exemplified by the exploits of Babe Ruth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNote: On August 2, 2010, Oxford University Press made public that it would credit Dorothy Seymour Mills as co-author of the three baseball histories previously \"authored\" solely by her late husband, Harold Seymour.
