In 1921, Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis suspended Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel for "barnstorming" after the Yankees' World Series victory. On March 27, 1922, during spring training, they all shook hands and made up. God knows what Landis would think of today's celebrations, both on and off the field.

Baseball Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, flanked by District Attorney Joab N. Banton and Assistant District Attorney George N. Brothers, gathered to discuss whether to convene a grand jury in the O’Connell baseball scandal, February 16, 1925.
Jimmy O'Connell of the NY Giants had offered Phillies shortstop Heinie Sand $500 (nearly $8,000 in today's money) to throw a series of games while the two teams were fighting for the National League pennant. Sand rejected the bribe and reported it to Phillies manager Art Fletcher. O'Connell was suspended from baseball for life.
