Fun to read and great pics. Too bad there was whining about the home run record for one season...face it Maris beat the Babe

This is a wonberful book for all who are nostolgic for the time when there were genuine, larger than lfe sports heroes. This wonderful reflection on Babe Ruth includes numerous photyographs. It is not an in depth biography. Rather, it is an evocative collection of pictures and anecdotes that he;p us feel as though we were there when the Babe was in his prime. Great book!!!

Baseball fans with an affection for the sports history will relish the renewed examination of Babe Ruth's life and career, which packs in almost a hundred photos to supplement anecdotes from those who knew him. Readers will find here an affectionate examination of Babe Ruth's life and times along with a fine visual coverage of baseball history.

WELL PEOPLE THERE ARE PLENTY OF BABE RUTH'S BOOKS IN STORE IT TALKS ABOUT THIS BOY GROWING UP IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND HE WANTED TO PLAY BASEBALL HE STARTED OUT WITH THE BOSTON REDSOX THEN MOVED TO THE NEW YORK YANKEES WELL READ THE BOOK AND YOU WILL FIND MORE FACTS ABOUT HIM

its book help me get a better view of Babe Ruth the person as well as the hero. This book showed the life of Babe Ruth outside the Baseball game and inside his personal life. Robert Creamer did a great job of showinbg the Babe in who is and telling all the legends and all the facts that surronded his life and his affect on people. This book was well written and kept me interst.

Of the 200+ baseball books I've read, "Babe: The Legend Comes to Life" is my favorite. Creamer wrote the book while some of the old-timers were still alive, and this makes his story come to life. If you want to learn about Babe Ruth, this is the definitive book to read.

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.

I really enjoyed this book. As a baseball fan (and a NYY fan), I had to read about Ruth. A great person from some aspects, this book took a look at the Babe from every point of view. It showed Ruth from his private and public life, his love life to his Saturday night (to Sunday morning)life. This was a very good book.
