Then he went on to his greatest career during the 1920s and 30s as an outfielder / slugger with the previously lack-luster New York Yankees becoming the nicknamed "Sultan of Swat" and transforming them with additional talented players into the feared "Bronx Bombers" for their first of several decades-long dynasties. In his later declining years, he served briefly as player / manager with the old Boston Braves of the competing National League.

A controversy arose when the Snohomish, Washington team was accused of "throwing" a game so as not to have to face the Central Team from Slater/Polk City, IA. As a result, the favored Iowa team was forced to use their ace pitcher, Mikayla Houge, in a tie-breaker game, where Iowa prevailed. Unfortunately, Mikayla was then unable to pitch in the semi-finals. Iowa lost that semi-finals game, effectively ending their chance at advancing to the Finals and winning the World Series. In a bit of irony, the Southeast team that advanced due to the thrown game ended up winning the championship.
