Babe Ruth was 40 and flabby in 1935. His days as a strapping,
fearsome home run hitter were behind him. Baseball had flourished
into big business through Ruth's swing and swag and didn't need him
anymore. His dream was to become a manager but the New York
Yankees--a dynasty he helped build--were not interested. But
someone wanted him. Judge Emil Fuchs, luckless president of the
Boston Braves, had lost a fortune on his perpetually losing team.
Desperate to save the club from collapse, he needed Babe Ruth--not
the fading slugger but the most famous brand on the planet. This
book chronicles the Ruth and Fuchs partnership during a perplexing
1935 season with the 38-115 Braves--truly one of the worst baseball
teams in history--along with Ruth's final games, back in the city
where he debuted.
