Babe Ruth : a twentieth-century life / by Wilborn Hampton.

Hampton, Wilborn. (Author).

Summary:

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--when fewer games were played in a season and a heavier ball was used.
