In this biography of Babe Ruth we get a bit more of his life outside of baseball. It appears he would always swing for the fences whether on the field, or in his late night escapades. Babe was someone who had a tough time letting go oh his fading greatness. Playing the game a little longer than he should have but still loving the game. Babe wanted to become a manager which never happened.

I enjoyed this quite a bit. I haven't read any other biographies on Babe Ruth, and haven't read a ton of sports biographies so I have little to compare it to. But, it does compare favorably with biographies I have read on other public figures. It's an easy read and flows well! Helps if you are already a baseball fan, but non-fans may enjoy it too.
