Synopsis

Excerpt from the It is a great satisfaction to me to be able to place between the covers of a book this story of mine about the most colorful figure in the history of American sport - The Real Babe Ruth. I have made no attempt to present yet another biography of the man who already has become a legendary Titan. Of all those non engaged in the profession of baseball writing, I was closest to Babe Ruth. I knew him only by reputation when he came to the Yankees in 1920. But soon I got the opportunity to get closer to this incredible athlete, and ultimately to become a friend. A friend whose advice, unhappily, Ruth did not take. When, at the close of the 1934 season, Ruth got his offer from Emil Fuchs of the Boston Braves, I told him that, in my opinion, he would commit a serious blunder if he left the New York club.
