Answer:

Babe Ruth is credited not only with being a remarkable player during the 1920s, but also for earning more than then-President Hebert Hoover. This is a true statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

George Herman "Babe" Ruth was an American professional baseball player who played in the Major League for 22 season from 1914 until 1935. in 1930, while the United States was submerged in an economic depression, the baseball player made the headlines for signing a contract that would pay him $80,000 a year, while the President of the country, Mr Herbert Hoover had a salary of $75,000 a year in the same moment.

When asked by the media if he though he deserved to make more money than the President of the country, Babe Ruth replied "why not? I had a better year than he did."
