<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Using simple language that beginning readers can understand, this lively, inspiring, and believable biography looks at the childhood of baseball great Babe Ruth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Babe Ruth was one of the first five players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and for good reason: he broke countless records and hit 714 home runs, an achievement that went unmatched from 1935 until 1974. A legend in baseball and an American icon, Babe Ruth's impressive tenure with the Red Sox and later the New York Yankees left an enduring legacy. <p/>But did you know that Babe Ruth spent his childhood in an orphanage and reformatory--and that baseball was introduced to him by monks? This narrative biography explores the early life and influences that shaped an athletic boy into an American sports hero.
