Description: A full-girth profile of a great American - George Herman Erhardt Ruth - who rose out of a Baltimore orphanage to become baseball's brightest star and the idol of all youth, is presented in this timely volume. The Babe hit more home runs than anybody in baseball, made more money than the President of the United States, and had more fun than a tent-full of kids at a circus Tom Meany has recaptured the big moments in the Big Fellow's career - from the day he was found beating a bass drum for St. Mary's Industrial Home, through his rise to fame and fortune, to the "day" given him by baseball in 1947. The author, noted columnist for the newspaper PM and a New York sports writer for a quarter of a century, tells Ruth's story as the babe lived it - with gusto and a high good humor. He pictures for the reader all the thrills of the home runs, the tinsel of the gay times, and the torment of being ignored by the baseball world after The Babe's playing days were over. Babe Ruth gives the whole story of a fabulous career - told for the first time.
