His days as a strapping, fearsome home run hitter were behind him. Baseball had flourished into big business through Ruth's swing and swag and didn't need him anymore. His dream was to become a manager but the New York Yankees--a dynasty he helped build--were not interested. But someone wanted him. Judge Emil Fuchs, luckless president of the Boston Braves, had lost a fortune on his perpetually losing team. Desperate to save the club from collapse, he needed Babe Ruth--not the fading slugger but the most famous brand on the planet. This book chronicles the Ruth and Fuchs partnership during a perplexing 1935 season with the 38-115 Braves--truly one of the worst baseball teams in history--along with Ruth's final games, back in the city where he debuted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67966664442079,"sku":"9781476685021","price":71.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/dxz7h1OSPO9781476685021.webp?v=1791726792"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/bob-lemoine.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
