Reviews
"A comprehensive look at a gargantuan life." -People "Montville is refreshingly nonjudgmental about his superstar subject. First-rate biography." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Crisp analogies and astute observations, combined with a fluid writing style, are Leigh Montville's strengths in thisdefinitive biography of the Splendid Splinter. Montville's writing is rich and full, like a Ted Williams swing. He connects solidly. A raw, no-holds-barred view of [Williams's] life." -Tampa Tribune "An engaging, fascinating read." -San Diego Tribune "Ted Williamsis not only a first-rate sports biography, but alsoa first-rate biography, period." -Baltimore Sun, Praise for Ted Williams: "The complete packagea triumph…"The Boston Globe "In Ted Williams, Montville reaches a threshold even the mighty Williams could never touch: perfection."Newsday "It is unlikely that any reader could view Ted Williams as just a ballplayer ever again."The New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Babe Ruth was baseball's original superstar, and for more than eighty-five years he has remained the sport's reigning titan. Now Leigh Montville, whose recent New York Times bestselling biography of Ted Williams garnered glowing reviews, brings his unerring touch to this intimate, revelatory portrait of the Babe. Based on newly discovered documents and interviews-including thousands of pages of Ruth's personal scrapbooks -THE BIG BAM traces Ruth's life from his childhood in an orphanage to his brash entrance into professional baseball, from Boston to New York and into the record books as the world's most explosive slugger. Montville explores every aspect of the man and the myths, giving readers an insider's perspective on Ruth's larger-than-life personality and making it clear why his legend looms as large as ever. At a time when baseball is being shaken by controversy and scandal, THE BIG BAM brings back the glory days of baseball and brilliantly illuminates its most legendary-and truly remarkable-hero.
