First edition of this highly authoritative manual on “how baseball is played by the big leaguers,” with numerous photographs of “the Babe” teaching stances and positioning. Slim Quarto, original illustrated wrappers. In very good condition.
This is Babe Ruth's own take on the game and how it is played, "noteworthy for its full-page photos of Ruth in action" (Smith). "You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime" (Farewell Address, 1947). Smith 6990. Grobani 9-33.
