About this audiobook
Babe Ruth grew from his adolescence in a Baltimore orphanage into a baseball superstar and national treasure. But he was also a product of his time, the colorful 1920s and 1930s. A sparkling collage of narratives from "the Babe", those who knew him, and the media makes this an exceptional biography as well as a work of cultural history.
