By the summer of 1920, Babe Ruth had attained a degree of celebrity
beyond that of any other player in baseball history. Traded by the
Red Sox for the unheard-of sum of $125,000, the Bambino was on a
tear, breaking his own records and drawing legions of fans into
Yankee Stadium. The" Atlanta Constitution" fed the growing interest
in New York's newest player with a twelve-part series of articles
in which Ruth reminisced about his rough-and-tumble childhood as
well as his life in the big leagues. He also commented on the
current season, including the 1920 pennant race and World
Series.
Although doubtless shaped by a ghostwriter, it is clear that these
are Ruth's own thoughts, opinions, and recollections. The first
contemporary account of the famed player's early years, these
articles have long been available only to researchers and history
buffs. Thirty historic photographs complement this original
edition, along with an Introduction by sports historian Paul
Dickson.
