Summary

More
He grew up surrounded by slaughterhouses and was sent to a reform school at the age of seven. George Herman Ruth was saved from his rough-and-tumble childhood by a teacher who taught him baseball and recognized his amazing talent. Nicknamed Babe for his innocence as a young player in the major leagues, he would go on to become the Sultan of Swat and a national hero for his extraordinary playing with first the Baltimore Orioles, then the Boston Red Sox, and finally the New York Yankees.

Filled with realistic line drawings and baseball facts about everything from Babe's swinging technique to the ins and outs of Yankee stadium, this book is a sports fan's delight!
