Babe Ruth is without a doubt the most famous character ever produced by the spor
t of baseball. A legendary player, world-famous for his hitting prowess, he tran
scended the sport to enter the mainstream of American life as an authentic folk
hero.
In this extraordinary biography, noted sportswriter Robert W. Creamer rev
eals the complex man behind the sports legend. From Ruth's early days in a Balti
more orphanage, to the glory days with the Yankees, to his later years, Creamer
has drawn a classic portrait of an American original.
