Editorial Reviews

He is perhaps the greatest sports hero in American history.George Herman ?Babe? Ruth, Jr., was more than just a ballplayer?he was a beloved public figure whose popularity at one time seemed to transcend that of baseball itself. Profane and earthy, ?The Babe? had a warmth of spirit about him that both electrified and inspired the nation. In his lifetime, he set several Major League records?the most notable of which took place in 1927 when he hit a record-breaking 60 home runs in a single season. From his early childhood in Baltimore to the infamous 1919 sale by the Boston Red Sox to his glory years with the New York Yankees, BIOGRAPHY? takes an in-depth look at the immortal slugger who swatted his way into the hearts of baseball fans forever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very basic account of the Babe's life., June 14, 2006

I have to say as a fan of the Babe I was a little dissapointed in this documentary. Without any interviews with family or former teammates it really lacked emotion. It had the feel of an educational film you might have watched on WWII in grade school. For someone that knows very little about the man and his life it might give you some insight, however for the more serious baseball fan I would have to recommend Babe Ruth: The Life Behind the Legend for someone who wants a more detailed look at this American legend.

A&E gives a good basic account of Babe Ruth's career but lacks a lot of details. It's nice to watch the vintage footage, but if you want a better account, buy this disc (the price is right) and get HBO's "Life Behind The Legend" DVD.
