内容説明

When Babe Ruth was sold by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees at the beginning of the Roaring Twenties, the stage was set for one of baseball's greatest dynasties. With Ruth on board, and under manager Miller Huggins, the Yankees became America's most popular team, and the most dominant team in the American League. They won three consecutive pennants (1921-1923) and a World Series (1923). In 1924, the Yankees' quest for a fourth consecutive pennant fell short when they finished two games behind the first place Washington Senators. Expected to bounce back and win the 1925 championship, the Bronx Bombers instead crumbled to the bottom. Ruth's love for the nightlife, his undisciplined nature and disrespect for his manager had finally caught up to him, and it jeopardized his future in baseball. This book tells the story of Babe Ruth, Miller Huggins and the Yankees' rise to glory, their collapse in 1925 and their climb back to the top.
