This Babe Ruth biography has a story that is all American - and it is the greatest story in baseball. When statistics are not enough, it is the biography that fleshes out, say, in this case, the 714 home runs, the 2,174 runs, the 2,211 RBI’s and the 10 World Series appearances, to say the least. “As told to Bob Considine”, we get to hear the Babe tell it the way he lived it. But more so, this little red bio has the ultimate personalization a fan could want - Babe’s signature on the second page, with the inscription, “To Stuart Felsen, from Babe Ruth.” Signature is in blue, and grades a beautiful 9/10, as Ruth signed to the consignor in person. Book is a first edition (copyright 1948 - the year of Mr. Ruth’s death, so it’s all in there), and is in itself in EX condition, while the cover rates VG-EX, as its spine casing is very loose (though the spine itself still holds book together well).
