Baseball And The "Sultan Of Swat": Babe Ruth At 100 (AMS Studies in Cultural History, Band 7) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book collects essays, recollections, and testimonials derived from a conference on the Bambino held at Hofstra University. Contributors range from sports writers to professors to lawyers to corporate CEOs - united here by the Babe's universal appeal. All aspects of Ruth's career are studied, from his rookie years as a pitcher to his glory days as the Yankees' home run king and including his time in the US, Cuba, South America, and Japan, where he took barnstorming tours with teams of top players. Off the diamond, Ruth's zest for living created its own legends. A symbol of boyish exuberance, he typified the Roaring Twenties and not a few of our own daydreams.
