Summary: Best biography ever written on Baseball's best player ever!
Review: Robert W. Creamer has captured the true essence of the player known as George Herman Ruth. Through quotes from players past you can actually sense the personality of Babe Ruth. The author makes you feel as if you are at home, in the locker room, on the field, or sharing the exploits of the Babe. America's greatest hero is brought to life within its pages, so much so, when the likes of a McGwire or Sosa hit a homerun today, you picture the Babe. Someday I hope to acquire the autograph of Mr. Creamer to make my edition complete.

Summary: S.I. is right, this is the best ever written!
Review: The book captures not only the facts of the Babe's life, but his spirit and feel as well. You almost believe you were back in the times of his life, with the state of mind of the fans, the ballplayers, etc. The Babe remains bigger than life today, and you can only imagine how big he was then. Creamer takes you beneath the surface and gets you into the real life and times of Babe Ruth, the greatest player ever. You will find how despite his shortcomings, Babe Ruth was a real, warm and genuine individual, with an absolute soft spot for children. Five stars, hands down!

Summary: the Bambino lives!
Review: This a great book for baseball fans . sportslovers of all kinds and anyone interested in American history in the 20th century. Babe Ruth the icon is made human again for all of us who missed him when he played the game. The first sports celebrity in a nation that has gone on to become obsessed with celebrity and sports heroes. Babe paved the way in an era that saw tremendous change in American life. He is portrayed here " warts and all" and emerges as a warm hearted man with a huge appetite for living who was clearly in the right place at the right time.
This is one of the finest sports biographies I've read.

Summary: A Gritty and Detailed Portrayal
Review: This is a comprehensive book on our favorite early 20th century player from Baltimore. 50 years after his death he remains possibly the greatest, and no doubt the most famous, player to have ever entered the major leagues. This book can best be described as warts and all. It starts with his rough childhood in an orphanage - which was basically a reform school - and how the Babe just excelled and became a natural player and hitter. It goes on and chronicles his rowdy life on and off the field, his indulgences and his mishaps until his premature death. He was not a man of moderation or a person that was able to pace his life. He was the opposite of say the current but now retired " Iron Man" Cal Ripken also from near Baltimore but a person famous for moderation. "The Babe"would often show up with a hangover and little sleep for a game. Then he would stuff himself with hotdogs during a game and still knock the ball out of the park. He was a fascinating person, bigger than life, and every baseball fan must buy or borrow and read this book. Five stars. Jack in Toronto
