Babe Ruth

1998· 60 min★ 7.2· Documentary

As its title implies, this video attempts to go beyond the public persona of one of major league baseball's greatest stars. Accepting Ruth as a larger-than-life figure, this 59-minute video doesn't attempt to rationalize, apologize, or analyze his behavior. Rather, it endeavors to present an unbiased account of the life of George Herman Ruth, contradictions and all.

Cast: Liev Schreiber, Babe Ruth, Jean Shepherd
