Movie ReviewsYou won't be dissapointed Patrick M. Rood | Seattle, WA United States | 01/27/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is quite frankly the finest documentary on the life and times of Babe Ruth that I've seen. I was mesmorized from start to finish; an absolute gem and a must for any Babe Ruth fan." BEST BABE RUTH DOCUMENTARY I'VE SEEN David L. Grundvig | Magna, Utah United States | 06/15/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Unique, never before seen clips and stories. Very balanced and skilled in representing Ruth with his strengths and weaknesses. This vhs represents his life from reform school to death. Indicates how he influenced America during the hard times and changed baseball forever. Despite Ruth's rough life style his talents and popularity are unprecedented and unquestioned. This was the age before good equipment (bats, gloves, etc), and strength enhancing drugs. Very good narration and dialogue on this vhs. Highly recommend it for baseball and history fans alike. There will never be another Ruth and he's the proof and that's the truth. Look how his totality of records have stood the test of time and are the measure to which others are compared. This is my favorite baseball documentary for the subject matter, quality, balance, nostalgia, historical setting, etc. An hour well spent." !*****! desertrose1294 | 10/05/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "For those of us who who grew up and still feel the Babe as mythical, this is great DVD coverage of the player who proved unbelievable as a human being. Coverages of games and warm ups attempt to bring the seriousness of the organized game since it was still a time when baseball was fun and fantasy. Yet the babe made it look so easy. With players still alive who played with him, a perfectly biographed story from beginning to end and garunteed to watch more than twice." Love the babe desertrose1294 | 07/26/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "this story of babe ruth is the best youll find anywhere."
