Babe, the legend. The man who made the game of baseball. George Herman
Ruth.
But he wasn't always the Babe. One day, long ago, he was a boy playing
baseball on a dirt lot. He hit the ball deep and far with his quick, strong
swing. But he did not know that his swing would change the game of baseball.
Forever.
Told from the moment of one at-bat and supplemented with vintage-style
baseball cards detailing career highlights, this is the story of George
Herman Ruth Jr. - a story of heroism, talent, and the will to be the best.
