Babe Ruth is still regarded as perhaps the greatest baseball player
ever to step on a diamond. Born into a poor family in Baltimore,
George Herman Ruth Jr. was sent to a Catholic reform school at age
seven, where he learned how to play baseball. Initially a talented
southpaw, the Babe went on to shatter every home-run record on the
books—and when fewer games were played in a season and a heavier ball
was used. In this engaging and fast-paced biography, award-winning
author Wilborn Hampton shares with readers The Babe was also a man of
big heart, temper, and appetite.
