Default Being Babe Ruth's Daughter

I've read all of Ruth's biographies, but who would have thought that after reading this article I would actually learn a few more things.

I'm exactly the opposite. I thought her bio of Sandy Koufax was terrible Don't know when I've been more disappointed in a biography than that one.

And I'm exactly the opposite about her Koufax biography. I guess sometimes great minds (yours and mine) don't think alike. Insert smiley face here.

Regarding her Mickey Mantle book: I don't know how it "reads" in print, but I have the audiobook version. She reads parts of it herself and her presentation comes across to me as angry.
