Babe Ruth (Up Close) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Babe Ruth is still regarded as perhaps the greatest baseball player ever to step on a diamond. Born into a poor family in Baltimore, George Herman Ruth Jr. was sent to a Catholic reform school at age seven, where he learned how to play baseball. Initially a talented southpaw, the Babe went on to shatter every home-run record on the books?and when fewer games were played in a season and a heavier ball was used. In this engaging and fast-paced biography, award-winning author Wilborn Hampton shares with readers The Babe was also a man of big heart, temper, and appetite.

Great book that was pit together very well. Very in-depth details on stats and important people in Babes life. Highly recommended to younger readers. I read it in like 2 or 3 days. Great for book reports!
If you have to read this book it will be fun but it is written very poor it is if a five-year old wrote it
A great reminder of just how great Ruth's numbers were as a hitter and how great a pitcher he was. Try to imagine how much more his batting #s would have been if he had been given a chance to bat everyday right when he became a major leaguer. No better offensive players than Ruth and Ted Williams. No better.
