This book is about the world famous Babe Ruth. As a boy Babe was a natural, he had a swing that no coach could have taught him. As he got older he became the best batter of his time. He had a swing like no other. He led the record in home runs. When he would make a home run, he would point the bat to the field and the fans would go crazy. He set the standard for baseball during this time and forever. He changed baseball forever!

I will use this book to teach students about the world famous Babe Ruth, and how he changed baseball.
