RetroSeasons recaps past sports seasons through stories, photos, videos, and stats from every team, league, and stadium in history. Coverage includes the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, as well as vintage media from defunct teams and leagues.
The 1932 Major League Baseball season was contested from April 11 to October 2, 1932. The Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees were the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The Yankees then defeated the Cubs in the World Series, four games to none.
The Brooklyn team in the National League, known as the Robins since 1914, reverted to the name Dodgers, which they had last used in 1913.
In this 1942 clip from the Bob Hope Radio Show, Bob Hope, a renowned comedian and entertainer, engages with Babe Ruth, one of the most iconic figures in baseball history. Given the era, this interaction likely provides insights into Ruth's illustrious career, personal anecdotes, and perhaps Hope's characteristic humor woven into their conversation. This period in history was marked by World War II; thus, their dialogue might also reflect the national mood and the impact of the war on American sports and entertainment.
