Babe Ruth's Called Shot by Ed Sherman Pdf
The anticipation of another showdown with the Bambino transformed Wrigley Field. Temporary bleachers held the overflow of the 50,000-strong crowd that bright September day. Game 3 of the 1932 World Series between the Cubs and Yankees stood locked at 4-4. An angry mob, rocking the ballpark with pent-up fury, aimed itself squarely at him. He had never experienced anything like it. But above the almost deafening noise, the slugger could hear the tide of barbs pouring at him from the Cubs’ dugout. They called him a busher, a fat slob, and other names not fit to print at the time. He took the first pitch for a strike, stepped out of the box, and collected himself. Cubs pitcher Charlie Root threw two balls, and Ruth watched a fastball cut the corner to set the count at 2 and 2. On the on-deck circle, Lou Gehrig heard Ruth call out to Root: “I’m going to knock the next one down your goddamn throat.” Ruth took a deep breath, raised his arm, and held out two fingers toward centerfield. As Root wound up, the crowd roared in expectation. It was a change-up curve, low and away, but it came in flat and without bite. The ball compressed on impact with Ruth’s bat and began its long journey into history, whizzing past the centerfield flag pole. No one had ever gone that far at Wrigley—not even Cubs hitter Hack Wilson. Estimates put its distance at nearly 500 feet. Ruth practically sprinted around the bases. Video cameras of the day raced to catch up with him, his teammates cracking that they hadn’t seen him run that fast in a long time. Then he flashed four fingers at the Cubs infielders and their dugout: The series was going to be over in four games. In that moment, the legend of the Called Shot was born, but the debate over what Ruth had actually done on the afternoon of October 1, 1932, had just begun.

The Man Who Made Babe Ruth by Brian Martin Pdf
At six-feet-six, the hulking Martin Leo Boutilier (1872-1944) was hard to miss. Yet the many books written about Babe Ruth relegate the soft-spoken teacher and coach to the shadows. Ruth credited Boutilier--known as Brother Matthias in the Congregation of St. Francis Xavier--with making him the man and the baseball player he became. Matthias saw something in the troubled seven-year old and nurtured his athletic ability. Spending many extra hours on the ballfield with him over a dozen years, he taught Ruth how to hit and converted the young left-handed catcher into a formidable pitcher. Overshadowed by a fellow Xavierian brother who was given the credit for discovering the baseball prodigy, Matthias never received his due from the public but didn't complain. Ruth never forgot the father figure who continued to provide valuable counsel in later life. This is the first telling of the full story of the man who gave the world its most famous baseball star.

Babe by Robert W. Creamer Pdf
“The best biography ever written about an American sports figure.” —Sports Illustrated Nearly a century has passed since George Herman Ruth made his major league debut, and in that time millions of words have been used to describe baseball’s greatest hero. But for a man like the Babe, for whom the phrase “larger than life” seems to have been coined, those millions of words have created a mythologized legacy. Who was the real Babe Ruth? Relying on exhaustive research and interviews with teammates, family members, and friends, historian Robert W. Creamer separates fact from fiction and paints an honest and fascinating portrait of the slugger. This is the definitive biography of a man who was, in legend and in truth, the best who ever lived.

"The Prophet" becomes an international celebrity, forced into hiding when some VIPs threaten his life. With his remarkable TV director, Bitsy Blodgett, by his side, the apocalyptic countdown to the third millennium begins. NEWSPAPER & CUSTOMER REVIEWS: "Millennium Babe: The Prophecy," Capitola author Betty Draviss first mystery, has been getting good reviews on Amazon.com ..." - Leigh Weimers, San Jose (CA) Mercury News columnist ***** Hey Wetterman! What next? I found this book to be very entertaining. I liked how the characters were fleshed out, they became real. The story line was different than I had originally expected with a number of "twists and turns" to keep you wondering what will happen next. Having spent a considerable amount of time in the San Jose, Santa Cruz and Capitola area, I also really appreciated all the good memories it brought back. When you live there its so easy to take for granted. What Im looking forward to, is a sequel. Now that these fictional characters are so real,Im dying to know..."what happens next?" One of the refreshing features about this book aside from the fact that it is very interesting, is the fact that the author has written it in a style that could be shared with a wide audience. Definition?....She managed to use multiple adjectives to describe people, situations and locations without having to swear or use any abusive language. Not something that I was looking for, but something that was noticable. I would like to see more from this author. Okay, How soon? - Rochelle Venckus, Denver, Colorado ***** "This novel has a little bit of everything: adventure, mystery, humor, a hint of religion, and a healthy dose of love. ... I couldnt put it down. As far as Im concerned, its a five-star book." - Debra Pangborn, San Jose, CA ***** "The Millennium Babe was an exciting and thrilling story! ... Just when you think you have figured out the story it takes on new twists and turns. Once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down!" - Carolyn Joan Murillo, San Jose, CA ***** "Starting with an interesting character, David Wetterman, and pulling together a compelling plot, the story Millennium Babe comes to life. Twists, mystery, and curiosity draw the reader to finish the book quickly. True to a good story, the ending is not predictable. ... This is a book you will not regret buying." - Kathleen Chewey, Campbell, CA **** "Although Im more of a "who dun-it" mystery reader, I was quickly drawn into the story line in Millennium Babe and was able to identify easily with the characters as they typified many Silicon Valley residents. The author has done a successful job of capturing her readers attention in the first chapter, drawing them along to the climax at books end, and creating speculation about what will happen next. I hope there will be a sequel published soon." - Betsy Grandey, San Jose, CA

Gehrig and the Babe by Tony Castro Pdf
The legendary achievements of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are undeniable hallmarks of baseball history. Much has been written about the two men as teammates, but Ruth and Gehrig's relationship away from the field is rarely, if ever, explored. In Gehrig and the Babe, Tony Castro portrays Ruth and Gehrig for what they were: American icons who were remarkably different men. For the first time, readers will learn about a friendship driven apart, an enduring feud which wove its way in and out of their Yankees glory years and chilled their interactions until July 4, 1939—Lou Gehrig Day at Yankee Stadium—when Gehrig's famous farewell address thawed out their stone silence.
