The golden age of baseball, or sometimes the golden era, describes the period in Major League Baseball from the end of the dead-ball era until the modern era—roughly, from 1920 to sometime after World War II.[1][2]
The exact years are debated. MLB, for example, considers the golden age to have ended with World War II. Others consider the golden age to have ended in 1951, when the first baseball game was broadcast in color, or in the mid-1960s, when all baseball games were broadcast in color.
