The barnstorming rule in which Ruth was suspended was removed by July 1922, but forced players on a World Series team to obtain the consent of the club president and then gain the permission of the commissioner before joining a tour.
New York Yankees great Babe Ruth was suspended for the first six weeks of the 1922 season after disobeying a major league rule against off season barnstorming. Though not as serious as Braun's 50 game suspension for alleged steroid use, Ruth's was every bit as newsworthy in 1921.
