Description
Making legends and leaving people awestruck: that's what Babe Ruth was all about. More than 70 years after he swung his bat for the final time, 'the Sultan of Swat' remains baseball's greatest player. Readers will find out about: his troubled childhood - including a period in reform school; how he got his legendary nickname; how he always tried to be an inspiration to children; his record-breaking plays; and the curse of the Babe that haunted the Boston Red Sox for so many years.
