Synopsis
The most famous home run in baseball history: &“The go-to book for an accurate portrayal of the story&” (Sports Collectors Digest). On the eve of game four of the 1926 World Series, Babe Ruth heard that a young New Jersey boy, Johnny Sylvester, was laid up with a deadly illness. Ruth autographed a ball for Johnny, inscribing it, &“I&’ll knock a homer for you in Wednesday&’s game—Babe Ruth.&” The rest was history. Ruth delivered on his promise, and Johnny made a miraculous recovery. In Babe & the Kid, author Charlie Poekel traces the story behind the sensational headlines, and follows Johnny&’s remarkable life in the aftermath of Ruth&’s incredible feat. Includes photos!
