[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

I happened to stumble across the wonderful book full of pictures and great text written by Lawrence Ritter about the great Babe Ruth. Anyone who is a fan of baseball, know who The Babe is. The book brings him to life with photos and stories from every facet of his life. It is a "coffee table sized book" and these types of books I just typically just skim through. But this book had incredible pictures and I savored each one.
