Home Run: The Story of Babe Ruth

Babe, the legend. The man who made the game of baseball. Babe Ruth began his baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles when he was 19 years old & played his last game in 1935 but is still considered one of the world's greatest sports figures. 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 & 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 & supplemented with color illustrations & vintage-style baseball cards detailing career highlights, this is the story of George Herman Ruth, Jr. -- a story of heroism, talent, & the will to be the best.
