More than seventy years after his death, Babe Ruth continues to
fascinate generations of fans. His exciting adventures on and off
the field have become essential reading for students of baseball
and pop culture. While most Ruth biographies are filled with
mundane facts, Lore of the Bambino is the equivalent of a greatest
hits compilation. Ruth's extraordinary (and at times incredulous)
tales carry readers on an enthralling journey through the life of
the most celebrated sports figure of the twentieth century. All of
the most popular anecdotes (such as the Babe's alleged "called
shot" in the 1932 World Series) are thoroughly covered along with
many lesser known narratives. The book is divided into two
sections. In Part One, Ruth's life and career are recounted
chronologically. Part Two contains assorted stand-alone anecdotes
in shorter form. Appendices include statistics, a chronology, and
salary details among other bits of pertinent information.
