There were a lot of changes to the baseball landscape in 1920 in the United States. The United States Baseball Hall of Fame inaugurates its first class and breaks ground on a facility in Washington, D.C. Since it was America's game, the thought was the HOF should be in America's Capital. The U.S Baseball Hall of Fame will eventually move to fifth floor of the Smithsonian Museum of American Sports in 1965.

Also, changing the landscape of baseball in America, the USBL founds the American Baseball Association, a new baseball association to use a development environment for its teams. It is classified as Class A, under the premise it is a minor league compared to the major league status of the USBL. The American Baseball Association's Class A is made up of 3 independent leagues, the Atlantic League, the Southern League and the Western Baseball League.

Showing the growth of the sport in the United States, the Association of Collegiate Athletics (ACA) begins to loosely organize the sport of baseball at the collegiate level. There is no end of year tournament, but competition between schools is now commonplace. The ACA will eventually be replaced by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 1950 and the first postseason tournament will be held, the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
