In a career that spanned over thirty years, George Herman "Babe" Ruth changed the way the sport of baseball was played. He was the first true power hitter, a strong pitcher, and in the outfield made some amazing game-saving catches. His love of the sport shined through in the way he laughed while jogging around the bases, in how he kidded and horsed around with teammates, and in his overall determination to win. But there was a darker side to Babe, one that nearly ruined his career - and his life. In the end, however, Ruth managed to overcome his personal demons, recapture his health, and go on to lead his beloved Yankees to championship status. Simply put, there has never been another player like the Babe. This comprehensive biography of one of baseball's most memorable legends also comes with photos.

This book was purchased for my 13 year old, who is doing a semester project on Babe Ruth. About 20 years ago, my brother avidly read Matt Christopher books, and he recommended looking for one for doing research and having an enjoyable read. My son is definitely NOT a fan of reading, but he read this book and fully enjoyed it. There was quite a few "mom, did you know.." It provided entertainment AND facts. Highly recommend for young (and old) sports fans!
Thank you Matt Christopher for introducing my son to biographies. He now loves not only fiction, but historical fiction and some biographies- usually sports or battle-related. Christopher's books are well-written and hold my child's interest. He has mostly read the baseball ones.
My son is doing a report on Babe Ruth. We couldn't find a book locally so downloaded and is even a better option bc he can mark, highlight parts, etc for his research report on Babe Ruth. So glad this was an online option. The book give lots of facts and interesting history.
Using baseball as a good platform for a story, Matt Christopher, once again, gives kids of all ages another biographical sketch of one of Americas favorite baseball players along with some baseball history."The Babe," as he became known as one of the greatest super baseball hero's loved to play baseball. He loved it so much that he could play the game all day and never get tired of it. To him playing baseball was fun. And doesn't every kid have fun playing baseball on a corner lot?My grandson loves to read all of Matt Christopher's baseball stories just like all the other kids on the block. They are fun and easy to read; I strongly recommend them; give them five stars; and I'm Marvin P. Ferguson, author of BOYS ON THE GOLD COAST.
Very good read for my 6th grader for his summer book...kept his interest! He actually remembered what he read for his report and the questions the school asked
An easy read; filled with statistics that enhance the story. A book young and old baseball fans will enjoy. A tribute to a human legend.
Nice for a book report book! (: The next few words are to get my word count up jdhdbdbdjdkdjdjdjdjdjd uncjdjjdndnd hnags
It was very good. A quick read. I recommend it. It was very general but entertaining. A little disappointing. He
