The Bambino . .. The Sultan of Swat . .. The Colossus of Clout . ..
Babe Ruth is widely regarded as the #1 baseball player of all time.
His contribution to the sport simply can’t be overstated: Largely
responsible for bringing baseball to its current level of popularity,
Ruth changed the game from a low-scoring, speed-dominated sport to
the high-scoring, power-hitting baseball we see today. Larger than
life in his own time, the Babe continues to be a legendary figure in
ours. Babe Ruth is the ultimate book for any true baseball fan,
telling the story of his groundbreaking career as well as memorable
tales from his often-colorful life off the field. Featuring a winning
line-up of rare and never-before-published photographs, the book also
includes pull-out facsimile reproductions of memorabilia such as
World Series tickets from 1916 to 1932; newspaper articles
chronicling the Babe’s record-breaking achievements; the official
souvenir program from opening day at Yankee Stadium in 1923; and Babe
Ruth’s first professional baseball contract. A glorious memento of an
incredible career, Babe Ruth is a fitting tribute to one of the 20th
century’s towering personalities.
