“I swing big, with the whole lot I have were given. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I will.” — Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth is definitely essentially the most famous character ever produced by the sport of baseball. A legendary player, world-famous for his hitting prowess, he transcended the sport to go into the mainstream of American life as an authentic folk hero.
On this strange biography, noted sportswriter Robert W. Creamer reveals the complex man at the back of the sports legend. From Ruth’s early days in a Baltimore orphanage, to the glory days with the Yankees, to his later years, Creamer has drawn a classic portrait of an American original.
