Through a combination
of beautiful oil paintings, authentic baseball cards, and free verse
poetry, meet the baseball hero who set the standard for the game.*
Babe Ruth!
"I've
heard people say that the trouble with the world is that we haven't
enough great leaders. I think we haven't enough great followers.
I have stood side by side with great thinkers -- surgeons, engineers,
economists; men who deserve a great following -- and have heard
the crowd cheer me instead. . .I'm proud of my profession.
I like to play baseball. I like fans, too...But I think they yelled
too loudly and yelled for the wrong man."
-Babe Ruth
Special thanks
to Michele Stuhrenberg for providing Babe Ruth's great quote.
