The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs: Recrowning Baseball's Greatest Slugger
$16.95
The first portion of this book is a breezy summary of Ruth's professional career including preseason and other exhibition games. Even if you have read other accounts of the same period, going through this will pleasantly pass the time, though rather more space is devoted to speculation about how long some of Ruth's home runs were than most readers would like, given that in baseball qua baseball the operational definition of home runs does not include length.
The remainder of the book, however, comprises a blizzard of data and citation masquerading as research and analysis leading to the conclusion that Ruth would have been credited with many more home runs playing in stadia with dimensions similar to contemporary ballparks'. As virtually every piece of the argument is presented with no statistical (or other) context and virtually every doubtful case--most of them are doubtful--is decided in favor of the author's argument, the book comes off as a exercise in reaching for straws by someone who is convinced that baseball in the past was better than baseball is not. The argument is not convincing, and the book is not good.
Regarding the writing, the chronologic season summaries are fine, but the later, "analytic" sections are marred by frequent hyperbole, grammatical mistakes, and usage problems, making finishing the book even more a chore.
Not recommended.

HOME RUN KING
$38.99
This game has got to be the worst game I have played in my life. If I could have given this game lower than one star, then I would have. Its so unrealistic. Every time you swing, no matter how out of time it is, you get a homerun. In the first inning that I played, I got 34 points. No offence, but those people who gave this game a high score must have never really played the game. Anyway, don't buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!
