The Babe in Red Stockings: An In-Depth Chronicle of Babe Ruth with the Boston Red Sox 1914-1919

307 pp. Although certainly not ignored, his beginnings in major league baseball -- five plus seasons with the Boston Red Sox -- tend to be somewhat glossed over. The extent of Ruth's accomplishments on the field with Boston, as well as his enormous popularity of that period, have never been fully appreciated. In addition, there are dozens of interesting incidents and anecdotes still left to be told.
