"This book does far more than tell the facts and myths of Babe Ruth's life.
It chronicles a time when baseball was played only on grass and a western road trip for
East Coast teams meant a train ride to St. Louis."--AudioFile
He was the biggest man baseball has ever produced. Babe Ruth transcended the sport
that brought him fame, money, and adulation, moving beyond the limits of baselines and
outfield fences into the mainstream of American life.
In this extraordinary biography, Creamer uncovers the complex and captivating man behind
the legend. He presents the truth behind famous Ruth stories such as the "called shot"
homers and the home run for a dying child, analyzes the astounding statistics with detailed
information on specific games, and describes Ruth's varied, often volatile, relations with
those around him, from fellow players to fans, friends, and reporters.
From Babe Ruth's early days in a Baltimore orphanage, to the glory days with the Yankees,
to his final years, Creamer has drawn an indelible portrait of a true folk hero.
