Home Run Revolution

Babe Ruth in His Time, 1919-20

The story of the two-plus years in which Babe Ruth transformed baseball by hitting more home runs than had previously been thought possible, when he converted from full-time pitching to full-time hitting, when he moved from the Boston Red Sox, who had been the most successful team in baseball during the first two decades of the modern major leagues, to the Yankees-- all of it in the words of the people who made and saw it happen.
