First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 310 pp. "Meet the Cooke family: Mother and Dad, brother Lowell, sister Fern, and our narrator, Rosemary, who begins her story in the middle. She has her reasons. 'I spent the first eighteen years of my life defined by this one fact: that I was raised with a chimpanzee,' she tells us. 'It's never going to be the first thing I share with someone. I tell you Fern was a chimp and already you aren't thinking of her as my sister. But until Fern's expulsion, I'd scarcely known a moment alone. She was my twin, my funhouse mirror, my whirlwind other half, and I loved her as a sister.' Rosemary was not yet six when Fern was removed. Over the years, she's managed to block a lot of memories. She's smart, vulnerable, innocent, and culpable. With some guile, she guides us through the darkness, penetrating secrets and unearthing memories, leading us deeper into the mystery she has dangled before us from the start. Stripping off the protective masks that have hidden truths too painful to acknowledge, in the end, 'Rosemary' truly is for remembrance.", Marian Wood (G.P.

"No other man ever equaled Babe Ruth's total domination of the sports world. Radiating the toughness, innocence, competence, and brash confidence that so accurately mirrored America's image of itself, Babe Ruth was a celebrity of Olympian proportions. This book skillfully projects the action, drama, humor and humanity of the Babe's life against the glamour of the 1920s and the stark realities of the 1930s. This colorful biography shows how the era spawned, adored, and celebrated its hero. Wagenheim details the Babe's life from his boyhood in a Baltimore reform school to superstardom with the Yanks, re-creating along the way many of baseball's most excitng moments. " The final two pages of the book contain charts listing Ruth's records, including a year by year listing of who he played for, his runs, hits, bases achieved, home runs, runs batted in, batting average and fielding average. Separate tables give his World's Series Records, All-Star Game Record, Pitching Record, and World Series Pitching Record. 16 pages of b/w photos. ., Olmstead Press, 2001<

The most famous and enduring baseball player in history, Babe Ruth, is remembered for his dramatic heroism not only on the baseball diamond but also in his life. Kal Wagenheim illustrates this larger-than-life athlete in his book Babe Ruth: His Life and Legend, and describes him as both a product of his childhood in Baltimore and of his formative years as a New York Yankee. Ruth struggled desperately with the dramatic contrast between the poverty of his youth and the glamour and stardom that his famed career brought him, and although his name became synonymous with wooing women and abusing alcohol, nothing could prevent him from becoming one of history's greatest athletes. baseball,biographical,biographies,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history,sports and outdoors,sports and recreation Baseball, Open Road Integrated Media, Inc.<
