Home Run,
By
This review is from: Home Run (Library Binding)
This picture book introduces the athlete who "changed baseball. Forever." Beginning as a pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles, George Herman Ruth became a huge sports draw who "changed basball" which had been tainted by the 1919 "Black Sox Scandal." When bought by the New York Yankees, Ruth helped fill the stadium. A good pitcher and a great hitter, Ruth may not have earned the nickname "Babe" in a Baltimore elevator, but the gum card statistics will be of interest to even the more than casual reader. Wimmer's Norman Rockwellish illustrations are a good match for the simple read-a-loud text.
