Events
- May 25 – Babe Ruth of the Boston Braves goes 4-for-4 with three home runs and six runs batted in. It is the last multi-homer game of Ruth's career, with the final home run being the first ball ever hit to clear the roof at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.
- May 30 – Babe Ruth ends his playing career with the Boston Braves of the National League. A mathematical extrapolation made in 1990 shows that had Ruth been born five years later, in 1900, rather than in 1895 and begun his hitting career in 1919 – at the start of the Lively Ball Era – rather than in 1914 – he would have hit a career 1,115 home runs and garnered a career 4,120 hits including an 80-home run season in 1930 when the baseball was further "juiced."
- November 26 – The National League takes over the bankrupt, last-place Boston Braves franchise after several failed attempts to buy the club. The league takes over only temporarily, until matters can be straightened out.
