Babe’s words on front page: “This book, the only authentic story of my life, is sincerely dedicated to the kids of America.” "Ruth originally broke into the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher, but after he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1919, he converted to a full-time right fielder and subsequently became one of the league's most prolific hitters. Ruth was a mainstay in the Yankees' lineup that won seven pennants and four World Series titles during his tenure with the team. After a short stint with the Boston Braves in 1935, Ruth retired. In 1936, Ruth became one of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. "Ruth has since become regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture. He has been named the greatest baseball player in history.” You will find softcover books, and other unauthorized biographies of The Babe, but THIS ONE, AS TOLD BY THE BABE, is a rare find because it came directly from THE BABE.
