    The book was about Babe Ruth. Everybody thought he was perfect, but nobody in the world is perfect. Babe Ruth had perks to. He was called the great bambino and the god of baseball, but he was a normal person like the rest of the world.

    "A Must for Yankee Fans"

    As much as a diehard fan might know about the Yankees, this proves that there's still a lot more to learn. The whole thing is dedicated to alternative perspectives, missing explanations, new analyses, and breakdowns you've never seen before . . . it'll open eyes among older fans and, no doubt, recruit some new ones, too. Entertaining, addictive . . . I LOVED this book.
