Summary

It's been more than 100 years since George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr. first made his mark on baseball, and time has only added to his legend. As his plaque in Baseball's Hall of Fame reads, "Greatest drawing card in history of baseball. Holder of many home run and other batting records." But numbers don't come close to telling the full history of the Sultan of Swat. From his earliest days growing up on the rough streets of Baltimore to his anything-goes embrace of fame and success, the Babe remains among the greatest athletes of all time. Uncover the real story behind the man through rare images and detailed descriptions of his life, on field and off
