The Life Behind The Legend
He was a legend in his own time, and a legend for all time. He saved our national pastime from the disgrace which followed the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal, and brought baseball back to the heart- land of America. He was generous and wild, playful and free- living, loving children, charity and the game. A man of excellence and eccentricity who no one seemed to dislike. He was a baseball player the world came to know as Babe Ruth.
George Herman "Babe" Ruth is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player who ever lived. He batted a career total of 714 home runs, and was the first player to hit 60 in a single season. He had a lifetime batting average of .342 and a slugging percentage of .690. There were many sleepless nights for pitchers who had to face him in the morning.
But Babe Ruth was more than just a baseball player. He became an all- American celebrity for the way he celebrated life. A national hero who never begrudged an autograph or the handshake of a child.
"Babe Ruth" explores the extraordinary life an times of the man who changed the face of baseball, and hit a home run right through the heart of America.
