Screwball Audiobook
Simon Rich has described the story from George Herman Ruth’s point of view so there is a chance that a few might find it different. The author did an investigation before the writing of this story so we cannot say that the author has copied the material or he has not portrayed the truth.
The book is an authentic one about the “Babe” who rose higher and higher with the help of his abilities and not with the aid of any shortcuts. Ruth’s teenage life was not extraordinary rather it was below average life. At St. Mary’s School for Boys, he was one of those who were not able to find any good friends in the institute.
He was a complete misfit in the institute because he was not clever enough to tackle the cunning lads around. At the orphanage, his life was exactly the same and he might have lived on in the same manner if the manager of Jack Dunn hadn’t watched him throw a baseball on the roof of the building. Ultra high quality voice of the two narrators Scott Aiello and Beck Bennett is the main thing that highlights this epic scene in Ruth’s life.
The moment he threw the ball on the roof, he was selected for baseball and the journey toward greatness started. The path ahead was still not an easy one because there were people who were jealous of his ability and his sudden rise in the game. The book is linked to history, however, unlike The Devil in the White City it is not about the entire world. The book is confined to the life of a single individual. We listen that how Ruth became a legend out of nothing.
