The Life that Ruth Built, by Marshall Smelser is very good

I think I've read them all, and "Babe, the Legend Comes to Life" by Robert Creamer is IMO the best.

By the time you finish the book you will have a much better understanding of the man. IMHO, it's definitely worth the read. |

Great picks by everyone, the Smelser and Creamer books are considered the best ever but THE BIG BAM isalso a great read.
A book that doesn't get enough publicity is Bill Jenkinson's book THE YEAR BABE HIT 104 HOMERUNS, it takes his 1927 season from Spring to Fall barnstorming. I have read just about everything I can find on Ruth and have watched every documentary that I could find but the one thing that has eluded me is his levle of intelligence. I think Babe may have been smarter than he is given credit at times. The counter weight is that the baseball leaders around him never seemed to value his opinion much, could that have been out of jealousy? Either way, he is so far ahead of the next best player of all-time that there really is no contest in my mind. I am also a huge fan of Wagner, Cobb and many others but there was only one Babe! |
